Notes

On 19 December 2015 an exceedingly rare pierced aureus of the usurper Fulvius Junius Quietus was put up for sale on the Ukrainian internet forum Violity . This metal detector find has only a broad provenance in the Vinnytsya Oblast, Ukraine. The aureus reappeared on the same forum on 3 January 2017 after which it turned up at an auction of Numismatica Ars Classica NAC AG in Zurich of 29 May 2017 where it was sold for 70,000 Swiss francs .
