Ancient Roman coin travels through ages to Hibler’s possession
A two thousand year old silver coin with Domitian’s bust and a Jerusalem temple reverse now belongs to Arthur S. Hibler, a U.S. immigration inspector in New Orleans. The talisman crossed continents via Spain and Mexico, passed through dice games and a patrician’s hand, and was linked to Villa era violence through a dying bandit’s handkerchief gift to his mother. Hibler believes it genuine and luck-bringing.
