Fascinating Germanicus @dougsmit! I won this coin from Naville. I think I was the only one who bid on it. I assumed the lack of interest in the...
Hi @maridvnvm, I have a die duplicate of your FORT REDVC coin with the obverse legend variant IMP CA L SE SEV PER AG COS II[ATTACH] This is how...
[ATTACH] Constantine I (the Great). Æ3, Rome, c. 326 CE; 19mm, 3.17g. LRBC —, RIC VII 287 (C2). Obv: CONSTAN - TINVS AVG; head laureate r. Rx:...
Maybe I'm wrong. Looking in RSC it does describe this type as Caracalla and Plautilla. A similar CONCORDIA type of Geta says "Geta and Concordia"...
The Caracalla coin is showing him and Geta clasping hands, so not a wedding coin. But great detail on that reverse!
Here's mine [ATTACH] Julia Paula. AR denarius, Rome auxiliary mint, struck 219–20 CE. 2.99g, 6h. BMCRE 318–20, RIC 214, RSC 12. Obv: IVLIA PAVLA...
Very interesting coin @Gavin Richardson! I only have a very few LRBs. Here are couple of chi-ro coins. I know I'm into the next dynasty, but it's...
Interesting coin and astute observation. Although the officina mark was engraved first on some coins, it doesn't follow that it was always...
Probably, based on numerous stylistic similarities.
Wow, amazing!
Both very nice coins @dougsmit. There's something especially pleasing to me about the Felicitas Augg coin.
Die shift could be a factor but it looks like re-engraving to me. For example, the forearm is curved and skinnier on the OP's coin, and because...
I stand corrected. Doug is right. Based on the overlay photos they do seem to be from the same die. But it does appear that the OP's coin has been...
Not a match. Note how far away the V is from the child's back on the BM specimen versus yours. Not even close. Also the curvature of the pregnant...
I think exe is an abbreviation for exergue. Exergue is the field below the relief design at the bottom of a coin. ** and IV might be mint marks....
I'm still waiting for a coin from 2014. Last stop ISC New York.
Authors do get galley proofs on which they can mark up any typos and other errors. A lot of these are inexcusable. There's no way a publisher is...

Judging from the portrait I'd ID it as Elagabalus. Elagabalus coins are listed all the time as Caracalla, even when a type is known to have been...
I should look into buying this one. I have to admit I know next to nothing about the non-Classical cultures. On the other hand, I don't need...
