Addenda: Einige Bemerkungen zu spätantiken Silber- und Goldbarren

In 2003, 2014 and 2015 we published two basic studies and a further paper on Roman silver and gold bars with stamps, hallmarks or other types of signatures of late antiquity. A characteristic feature of silver bars of this period is their double-axe shape. However, this form is not a canonical one in all periods of this era. In the center of the analysis of known Roman gold bars there stood in particular the findings of Crasna and Feldioara in Romania in the shape of ‘sealing wax sticks’. This paper aims to add some supplementary remarks on several details that had not taken sufficient account in our earlier publications. Moreover, we shall give hints to new finds and depositories of older findings unknown so far. Finally, we shall draw attention on possible or real forgeries of the recent past.
