was there other RR denarius with Janus head? this one also had no beard, some people say it's dioscuri? [IMG]
red spork's date on the first coin makes sense. So does the 119BC date for gallic war. That was still very early in marius' political career. I...
Was the coin struck in 110BC? I think Marius assumed command at a later date, and it was closer to 100 BC when they finally won the teutone war.
They could enlarge the experiment size with a larger collection of coins. Instead of measuring the density of 1 coin, measure that from multiple...
2 coins 1st one [IMG] [IMG] I read somewhere (probably forvm) that this was made to celebrate marius' parade after his victory in teutones, and...
I've seen this attributed to nero, but it was tooled. Anyway, it's aggripina jr. Note the female face on your coin was much older. People often...
nero had a round face, even when he was skinny octavian had a triangular face
nah, that's Augustus. this is nero, not the same portrait. Also, this is a didrachm, weight 7-7.5gr. The one you post was a tet [IMG] Here's...
That's augustus, obviously... the ceasarea coin you were thinking was a didrachm, should weight 7 gram. I've been trying to find one, one of the...
1.88gr seemed light for a tetrobol? I see a lot of those "ripley's fake" types from reputable dealers. Who knows...

only problem is, a camera that doesn't have metering adjustments (or focal point choices) usually wouldn't have exposure compensation either.
So 1 denarius was worth 10 asses from establishment of currency? Then they switched it to 16 asses from 140 to 100bc, then switched it back to 10?...
this is a sword. So it does looked like the guy with shield was stabbing the other little guy [IMG]

There's an uncommon type of that. Instead of letters going around it says COS left of minerva and IIII right side of her. I'd like to have this...

not a small fortune you had spent on those papius mari. How many types have you gathered? I wonder if you would have a set already if you had...
honestly, I don't know :) The one above last is mine, and for a time I thought it was genuine. Then I saw the last one and not really sure...
I know the post and the picture (on ancients.info). He basically said this "style" of the coin were all fakes from one period, which was before I...
