We've seen some Ostrogothic Kings, how about an Ostrogothic Queen for a change: This is a AR half siliqua with monogram of Queen Matasuntha issued in the name of Justinian. Not sure but I think it's a tougher type to find then the boys.
One of the reasons I get to buy all these coins without the wife killing me is that I have no kids; not sure why but I like ancients better.
Dude too late he already has my adoption papers signed! He said what he said just to not get you upset
I pretty much am at this point, I pester the poor guy on every major Siliquae purchase I make. He is always helpful and his knowledge about Siliquae surpasses my own tenfold! I would love to meet the guy in real life; we would have a hell of a discussion.
My wife made me sit down with her last year and walk through the process of how to sell all my ancients if anything should happen to me. I had to provide names and contact numbers. I now sleep with one eye open.
I'm pretty much the same way with Brian. I'm suprised he has not blocked me yet lol. He is a great guy thats helped me loads with my late Roman/Germanic collection and knowledge.
Yeah, us Late Roman folk had better stick together! Very nice coins Brian! I don't have a barbarian Siliqua of Justinian I but I have an official issue that was struck in Carthage after the reconquest of Belisaurius!
