[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 590796, member: 5833"]Seller, in the way of someone who does not deal in antiquities professionally, is telling you all she knows about this pair of earrings, which evidently she bought on the understanding they were Imperial Roman. As [USER=1476]@Debora[/USER] said, she has not done her due diligence, not made any effort to gather support for her assertions, not even had the metal tested, simply says it is gold. She has accepted whatever was told to her by Private Collector #2. We've put up several photos of Roman earrings with the same basic design. I think we can allow the earrings are Imperial Roman in style. The question becomes whether or not you believe they are in good condition for something over 1,500 years old. Why or why not?
