A small hoard of Roman and a couple of other silver coins from my collection!

Probably more than a month worth of pay back then!

Great looking group shot!

 

It’s nice to process size and scale with a shot like this. When I first started collecting, I could not visualize millimeters. An AE4 looked as big as a sestertius to me from dealer photographs. Lots of disappointment came in the mail in those days before I figured it out.

 

Quite right on target! When I got my first denarius boy was I not the happy camper. Thoughts of "that's it?"

 

Still might be worth a month's pay for some.

 

Probably more than a month's pay. Nice grouping of coins.

 

That is a lot of silver! nice shot. Did you fully ID all of them already?
Also nice Philip I tetradrachm (the Greek guy, not the Roman imitator ).

This is mine:

Philip I Philadelphos (circa 95/4-76/5 B.C.) AR Tetradrachm. Antiochia on the Orontes mint, lifetime issue, circa 88/7-76/5 B.C.
Obverse: Diademed head of Philip I to right.
Reverse: BAΣIΛEΩΣ / ΦIΛIΠΠΟΥ - EΠIΦΑΝΟΥΣ / ΦIΛAΔEΛΦΟΥ Zeus seated left, holding Nike in his right hand and long scepter in his left; to inner left, O.
Reference: SC 2463
15.52g

 

Since most of them came from vcoins, it's was already attributed. That broken siliqua came from ebay where the seller didn't mention any ID, but I got it anyway, turned out to be from Valens! the two republican coins featuring the quadriga and helmeted Roma took me a while! my old post on those coins.

Very nice indeed... Thank you for posting them

If possible , can we see the reverse ? Nerva is my preferred.
