It seems like a slow night on the board and I need some entertainment. I could post some nicer new coins but there are many of those threads....
My thoughts exactly!
They usually had the reverse legend FELICITAS REIPVBLICE.
Ooooh! That’s a barbarous imitation of a Magnentius coin! (I think..)
Not gibberish! Have you not heard of the grand and heroic reign of emperor Mohha Omieo?!?! Haha... barbarous coins with legends that you can sorta...
A great year! My favorites are the Faustina II and the Tacitus but they’re all very nice. You got that 37mm Ptolemy IV for a steal!
Oooh I love the temple reverses of Maxentius. I'd love to get upgrades of mine and collect the main pediment and temple types. I know there are...
Ugh... @Beginner345, Merry Christmas. I hope you find clarity and peace... and learn to buy from dealers who you can trust. :stop: You remind me...
Dang! That Valentinian II Galley is a beauty in any era. I hadn't noticed this post the first time around. The style and artistry is terrific. The...

That last on of yours appears to be a barbarous imitation of those Constantinople City Commemorative “Victory on Prow” coins minted in the early...
One from Florianus: And... after buying a couple cruddy "check the box" Florians. I finally paid too much to get a nicer one. Now I need to sell...
A few that I like from Tacitus: I just like how the contrast between the dirt and green patina make the portrait look on this one. [ATTACH] A...
Also you could write out the legends and look into what they mean. The obverse (front) legend is: CONSTANTINVS IVN NC I believe. Do you know the...
You could note the mint city! In this case PLON = London which is cool!
Oh! And how about this little nugget. A Tetricus II as Augustus! Almost certainly a barbarous imitation... but still, finding a TII with an...
Here's some fun Aurelian coins. Rather than listing the attribution info... I'm just going to say in a few words why I like each. I just like...
Separate names with a comma.
