The finest objects brought to you by {name}

Peter Reynaers

Roman votive lead mirrors 
(very rare complete with glass still attached) 
popular from the 1st to 3rd century AD, 
were small, handheld objects known as
 "ex-votos." 
These mirrors were significant in Roman religious practices, often dedicated to deities like 
Venus and Juno. Crafted from lead, they 
featured ornate designs and inscriptions, 
reflecting the era's artistic flair.
These mirrors were believed to have protective and symbolic powers, bringing good fortune, beauty, and fertility to their bearers. Typically circular or oval with a handle or loop, the reflective side showcased intricate engravings of mythological scenes or divine figures, while the reverse often bore inscriptions dedicating the mirror to a specific god or commemorating an important event.
Mesurments: 60mm. Diameter, weight: 45g

Unique Objects

Occasionally, two different bidders may show up in the bidding history with the same bid amount. This occurs when one user's bid is exactly the same as an automatic (maximum) bid placed by another user earlier. Since the auto-bid was placed first, this takes preference. The bidding history will show both bids, with the auto-bid ranked as the higher of the two.


Double bid

It may appear that the same bid has been placed by two different bidders. This can occur if someone places a bid in another currency which is then rounded to the same amount as the previous bid in %{local_currency}.

This can occur for the following reasons:
1. If an opening bid does not meet a lot’s reserve price (hidden minimum), buyers may try outbidding their earlier bid in order to find that lot’s RP.
2. If an auto-bid (user-set maximum bid) is outbid, the bidding log will show the first and final steps of that user's auto-bid in a row. The new highest bid will be shown at the top.

Why is this bidder outbidding him- or herself?
