Is this a roman coin?

Quote:Ave Patrik,
don't forget! A lot of modern money hosted on Swiss bank accounts is of very dubious origin - could also be the profit of illegal excavators!!!


Don't tell this to me. I'm neither the owner of any of these banks nor a friend of its practice (and don’t think only some Swiss banks make unethical business! Don’t forget for example the history of many German banks).
I avoid all these banks and save therefore my hard earned money on a little local bank.
You've made a quite bad comparison! Confusedhock:

If you like it or not: I take the view that it is important to sensitize unsuspecting collectors (or who can get one)to the problematic of illegal excavation and its responsibility for destruction of cultural possessions.
I was a collector too until I get informed about the disrespectful and destructive “excavation techniques“ of a lot of pot-hunters. Unfortunately there are really no absolute safe sources for artefacts. So I thought the only way to be a real history friend is to resist against temptation of collecting.

I gave the information about his coin to DrewG . And he really shall be happy about owning a real and nice coin. I just hope that he will not start to collect. That’s all!

End of the discussion for me
