Watch List notes:

ASIA MINOR. Uncertain. Assarion (Bronze, 21 mm, 8.18 g, 11 h), 1st century BC. Bare head of a Roman quaestor to right. Rev. Fiscus, sella, quaestoria and hasta; below, Q. RPC I 5409. An exceptional example of this enigmatic issue, with a very attractive portrait struck in high relief. Faint cleaning scratches, otherwise, 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.
