Watch List notes:

ASIA MINOR. Uncertain. Assarion (Bronze, 22 mm, 7.16 g, 1 h), 1st century BC. Bare male head to right. Rev. Fiscus, sella, quaestoria and hasta; below, Q. RPC I 5409. An unusually attractive example with a splendid dark patina. Nearly extremely fine.


This issue has been attributed to Brutus, Octavian and Gaius Sosius in the past. It may well, however, be of a somewhat earlier date.
