Roman Gold and Bronze Age

[Dakaras]

Few pictures from the British Museum Stonehenge exhibition and the Museum of London.

A stunning bronze age piece found a few years ago by a metal detector and a selection of Roman gold coins found over the years at various London sites and a celtic. Well worth a look if you find yourself in town with a few hours to spare.

Be worth a fortune if they get them slabbed

I offered spot plus 3% didn't seem that interested.

I see where they got the inspiration for the George III obverse ‘bull head’…. Vespasian. 😬

Fantastic!

First time I've ever seen an image of Vespasian, and strangely enough he kind of looks like the idea I had of him in my head.   Titus is his spitting image too..😂

Got to get a celtic stater for my collection.   Do you know form what period the last 2 celtic coins are from?   Interesting to see the iconography of the man on horse back hunting or slaying a beast has been reused throughout history and predates the myth of George and the Dragon by centuries.  The image of the Thracian horseman has been used from around 300 BC.

The last time I visited a museum, they didn't want to let me escape!
