Ancient coins from Roman lots can vary, but typical examples include bronze denominations such as the as, dupondius, or sestertius. These coins often feature a bust of an emperor, important figure, or symbolic deity on the obverse, and a variety of reverse designs that may include gods, imperial themes, or symbols relevant to the issuing period. The as, for example, is a classic bronze coin used throughout the Republic and Empire, with Janus or later imperial portraits on the front and a ship’s prow or symbolic image on the reverse.
Roman bronze coins were cast or struck in a range of sizes and usually show inscriptions in Latin, sometimes with control marks or letters to indicate the specific mint. Their weight, size, and design could differ dramatically depending on era and location, but common examples from lots tend to have well-worn details due to centuries of circulation. Metal composition was typically bronze (an alloy of copper with tin and/or lead), and many exhibit green to brown patinas as a result of age.
A coin from Lot 2 could be any of these types, offering insight into Roman economic life, art, and history. Even worn examples are valued by collectors for their tangible connection to the ancient world and the stories they hold about emperors, cities, and religious or political developments.
