Study Forgeries. Commodus "Paduan" medallion after Giovanni da Cavino (Bronze, 37.53 mm, 32.17 g). [M COMMODVS ANTONINVS PIVS FELIX AVG BRIT], Laureate, draped and cuirassed half bust right. Rev. [MART PACAT P M TR P XIIII IMP VIII COS V P P], Mars standing left, holding olive branch and leaning on spear; cuirass behind. Cf. Gnecchi II, p. 56, n. 45, pl. 81, n. 4. Cf. Cohen 382. This medallion undoubtedly appears to be a cast, but it shows metal encrustations along the edges that resemble chemical fusion residues, as if it had undergone an electrolytic process in running water (such as a river). Moreover, the patina also appears riverine. Nevertheless, we cannot demonstrate its genuineness. Good Fine. Very Rare.
