Title: Re: Unusual button? and finds Any idea Doc? Post by: The Doc on June 15, 2009, 08:55:52 PM Nice button Rob. Probably 18th century. This is from UKDFD:
The excavation of the now famous towns of Herculaneum and Pompeii in 1738 and 1748 stimulated an interest throughout the world in classical art. Buttons in the form of Roman coins date mainly from the second half of the 18th century and are, no doubt, a reflection of this interest. Title: Re: Unusual button? and finds Any idea Doc?
