I protest the violence/animal cruelty (even if none were hurt in the making of this thread) with a FTR Ship O' State from Constans as the ice is...
I was going to say Zumbly before I saw who the celebrity guests were. This coin is also from Alexandria: [IMG]
I did have the lens fully extended, but I thought it'd be better if it was not. So to answer your question I really have no idea what I'm doing...
Greetings, My usual - a coin, a bit of history and a billion photography questions. 190 A.D. was pretty close to Commodus' full descent into the...
I also like dupondius, you tend to get emperor action scenes, and if you sacrifice your standards (like having too many drinks on Saturday night)...
That is nice!
Good Sunday everyone! As the title suggests I don't like owning ancient coins...as much as I like looking at varieties and finding ones I haven't...

"Siliqua vicesima quarta pars solidi est, ab arbore, cuius semen est, vocabulum tenens." A siliqua is one-twentyfourth of a solidus [coin] and the...
This actually isn’t a problem, it’s called a market and means the hobby is healthy. New collectors will always pay more than “value” but that...
Very nice coins. Great coins, pics and write-up, thank for starting it up Ocatarinetabellatchitchix. Here's my contribution, maybe a couple...
