You have a great group of new repros.
First, here's a comparison between a lovely genuine Roman mosaic face bead (on the left) from our friend Yankee, approx. 100 bc - 100 ad, and a new replica of the very same bead type (on the right). It is thought that these new replicas are being made in the middle east. This particular repro was sold on eBay in May for 200.00, represented as a genuine Roman mosaic face bead. Anyone involved with ancients knows that a price of 200.00 is for none other than a replica, and if repped as ancient, then it's clearly a fake.
