AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Bronze phalera with concentric circles on both sides — Late Roman or Byzantine attribution
Interesting circular bronze piece, with both faces ornamented by carefully executed concentric circles and a central raised boss.
It highlights the symmetry of its two surfaces, as well as the circular marks of fabrication and its attractive green patina with earthy tones.
It presents a configuration compatible with the ancient metallic weights used in commercial activities and weighing systems.
Good overall state of preservation, with mineral deposits and signs of wear
