    Date from: Circa AD 1600
    Date to: Circa AD 1700
    Cast copper alloy
    This instrument has a globular knopped handle at the hinge. There is a small ridge just below the knop on the outer edge of each of the arms. The upper sections of each arms is flattened and one is recessed to accomodate the other. The arms then change shape to have a square cross-section before tapering to form points. There are some decorative facets on the inner edges of the arms near the flattened upper section. There is no evidence of maker's marks.
    Similar dividers have been recorded on The Portable Antiquities Scheme database. For example, see finds: LON-33D734; NMS-886014; LVPL-6DBFA6.

    This appears to be an As of Elagabalus, 218-222, I'm afraid the reverse is too far gone for me to figure out what it was. The obverse legend would have been something on the order of IMP CAES M AVR ANTONINVS PIVS AVG.
    Luckily for us, that prominent "O" above the head is a strong indicator that it's in the middle of "ANTONINVS" and since the earlier emperors who used that name in their titles, Antoninus Pius and Marcus Aurelius, were both bearded, that leaves us with only Caracalla and Elagabalus. The portrait doesn't look at all like even a young Caracalla - who would have had a legend ending in CAES where this one ends AVG.
    The portrait tends to resemble Severus Alexander - they were cousins, after all, but he wouldn't have an "O" in his obverse legend.
    Sorry I can't tell you any more about the reverse - I just can't make out any useful detail at all.

    Wow! Fine pouch. Of course the hammered gold is fantastic and so are the seals but I really love the musicians hat badge. Great pouch through and through.

    Hi Ron

    Congrats on the great pouch. The gold quarter noble has such a beautiful design. Puts our coinage to shame.

    Great finds.

    No such thing as a bad day if you are metal detecting.

    Many awesome finds. The gold is outstanding, but oddly enough my favorite is the 13thC Seal.
