A very interesting writeup thank you! I have this sestertius of Marcus Aurelius that I would guess was part of an old museum or university...
Great coins everyone! I love Claudius II and his coins. Embrace the scrappiness! Sadly most of my CII coins are unphotographed but below are a few...
I just received this one that I was lucky to pick up for about $28. It’s a hard coin to photograph, and looks better and the devices are more...
Great work @JayAg47 ! I follow the guesses above. Anyone here collect ancient intaglios? I have a few but the ones I can afford are not the most...
Thanks for the post! Although I love the history of this time period, the coinage is tough to love. After about 400-410ad or so until Anastasius,...
Thank you! I love it too. I only said "humble" as these coins are kinda scrappy and not to everyone's liking... but I really like coins of this...
My most recent that I've received this this humble Quintillus. [ATTACH] Quintillus - VBERITAS AVG - Siscia - RIC V-1 79
Here are my better looking Volusian coins, both relatively common. [ATTACH] Volusian - PAX AVGG - Rome - RIC IV 179 - I both like and dislike...
That’s a nice one and Crispus from London too! Great coin. Here is one of my few Crispus campgates, but from Rome. Notice the sweet sideburns that...
I’ve seen that happen before at FORVM. I think it’s just a default price when someone forgets to add it or there is an error. A few years ago...

Here's my example of a "Z" officina Trajan Decius Tetradrachm from Antioch. It needs a better photo as the lighting makes is look like it has a...
Interesting commentary on the Monte di Grano: http://judithweingarten.blogspot.com/2007/06/maximinus-and-mystery-of-monte-del_10.html [ATTACH]...
Haha, yes being assassinated by your own army makes this coin a fun example. However, it was also issued about a decade before the army turned on...
I am not a supporter yet. I didn’t realize becoming a supporter removes ads. So, yes a good benefit to becoming a supporter. However after a...
Yeah Valerian.... those ads aren't going to age well [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] I'm not entirely sure but I believe the last one to be an...
Haha, yeah I was thinking both Valerian, Gratian with his GLORIA NOVI SAECVLI coins and really any FEL TEMP... but didn't have any good handy photos!
I get that spaces like this need some way to fund themselves... but I've noticed lately that (at least on desktops) that there is a new bottom...
