Anonymous Coin #5 – CEHGG 2017 (The Final Round!)

I would guess Postumus with a ship. Definitely not Septimius.

I'm also voting for Severus Alexander.....since I don't recall previously voting for him.

I must admit, I was tempted to vote for H8_modern---being 'infected' by Doug is usually fatal and his rationale seemed convincing to me

 

Thanks Doug, you are absolutely right, will try to find the exact description and RIC number.

 

My guess is Fitznigel because its a guessing game
Tacitus:

 

I'm going with H8_modern because I believe he is the only one I haven't chosen yet. As for my order of the five coins, I'm going with how the choices we listed in the original post:
1)@zumbly
2)@Curtisimo
3)@Severus Alexander
4)@FitzNigel
5)@H8_modern

Here is a Phillip I which was my first ancient coin.

 

I'm going with @zumbly on this one. For some reason when I saw this coin I thought of Z.


Uncertain Julia Domna AE22 / Artemis Obv: IOVLIA C[EBAST]H / Domna right.
Rev: Artemis standing facing, head r. with torch in her right hand and quiver at shoulder, stag left.
22-23mm.

 

I'll guess @Curtisimo since I have yet to guess him. I will add a random LRB of my own to the thread.

 

Even though I guessed him already, I think @Severus Alexander

 

I'm going to vote for @Severus Alexander, just because of his name and who is on the coin.

Here's a very thin denarius of her disturbed nephew:



EDIT: Forgot to include this:
Zumbly
Zumbly
Severus Alexander
FitzNigel

 

Tis @Curtisimo

Why? Cuz I say it is so.

Coin:

Campania AE Apollo-Achelous -275-250BCE PLATE COIN 3 KNOWN RARE SNG ANS 474 - Listed Potamikon pg 232 Plate 343 Author @Nicholas Molinari

 

My guess goes to Severus Alexander because I just ate a donut.

Here is my random coin:



It's actually my bro's owl tet, I hope it still counts.

I'm going to give it one more shot:

1. Zumbly
2. H8_modern
3. Curtisimo
4. FitzNigel
5. Severus Alexander

Thanks Curtisimo, this has been fun!

'They" (who prepare and give examinations) say that once a test-taker makes a selection of a multiple choice answer, the answer selected should never be changed unless you absolutely know the answer for sure.

Having said that, of course I am going to change an answer! Even though No. 1 really felt like Curtisimo, when I went to read some of Severus Alexander's past posts, I thought it might have been him, too.

So, I'm going like this:

1. Severus Alexander
2. Zumbly
3. Curtisimo
4. FitzNigel
5. H8_Modern

 

That is a nice tet Erin!... and I have had fun organizing everything as well. I appreciate all the people who have commented and played along. This is a fun group to hang out with.

 

Yes! @Curtisimo, you did a splendid job organizing all of this. Thank you so much. It has been great fun.

I am so anxious to see the results and the prizes; but, I won't accept any prize if my selections were to be correct. (A bit of self-castigation is in order for something small and foregoing this will be a perfect way to set things straight).

Good luck everybody!!

 

I guess Curtissimo, because it is he who I have not guessed. In addition, U am a YN

 

Yes I am.

 

I voted for H8_modern on this one with consideration of the reason why it was included in their collection.

Here is how I actually voted
Curtisimo
Curtisimo
Severus Alexander
FitzNigel
H8_modern

and my final list is:
zumbly
Curtisimo
Severus Alexander
FitzNigel
H8_modern


JULIA DOMNA, wife of Severus, (d. 217). AR Denarius. Rome, AD 196-211.
Obv: IVLIA AVGVSTA - Draped bust right.
Rev: SAECVLI FELICITAS - Isis standing right, left foot on prow, nursing infant Horus held at her breast, rudder resting against altar behind.
19.05mm, 3.37g. Toned aXF
RIC IV 577 (Septimus Severus), RSC 174

 

I will guess H8_modern for no particular reason.

 

I think the coin belongs to @Severus Alexander because I got a divine revelation (gut feeling) that it was so, and that he collects Roman coins.

My list is:

1. Zumbly
2. Curtismo
3. H8_Modern
4. Fitznigel
5. Severus Alexander

Random coin:

 

My final vote goes to Severus Alexander, because I've voted for the four others previously

I'll post a picture of a coin later tonight as I don't seem to be able to at the moment
