I've never purchased a coin from Ebay but the majority of the better items in my stamp collection have come from there -- like everybody here has...
Beautiful coins in the OP, and the rest are no slouch either. As a pointless aside, one thing I find rather amusing about Caesar's portrait...
Thank you everybody for your contributions! Some very pleasing coins and some highly learned commentary. Much wisdom here, for which I thank you...
Extremely attractive: the crudeness of the Kushan bronzes makes a strange contrast with the fineness of their gold. It seems like your example...
Recently acquired this pleasing tetradrachm of the slightly obscure Vima Kadphises (or "Ooemo Kadphises," as his Greek subjects apparently knew...
A very thoughtful, considered post -- much obliged to you for writing it. A few comments: I await being corrected but my understanding was that...
Spitballing here completely but the shape and position of the circular object on the reverse noted by @gsimonel puts me in mind of the "Victory...
Here's a (rather worn) Hadrian on the move. Wildwinds places this among the emissions it dates generally to 125-128AD: in which case this must...
I'd never seen these before! Highly evocative items, considered aesthetically -- the destruction of the neat symmetrical "confronted busts" layout...
Very interesting! I had never seen these before (in my very limited experience, granted). If we take the abbreviation as Nero Caesar Augustus...
I possess a fairly wild-eyed Caracalla, also in fact from Nicopolis ad Istrum -- there must've been something in the water over there. [ATTACH]...
This was more or less my first "proper" show, very excitingly. Highly pleasant atmosphere. (I had the startling experience, on a few occasions,...
Aside from the Hadrian in my avatar, which I've treated on elsewhere, my favourite is almost certainly this Domitian: [ATTACH] Domitian, 88AD:...
Very informative, thank you!
Great coins everyone! Looking over the pictures here prompts a question in my head: can anybody shed any light on the very distinctive portrait...
A recent acquisition of mine with a charming typo on the reverse legend: [ATTACH] Trajan, O: laureate head right, IMP TRAIANO AVG GER DAC PM TR P...
Agreed with everybody else that that's a tremendous Otho there: and a strikingly flattering portrait, especially for an eastern-style production....
Very nice! I have a budget example of the same type: more worn down, especially on the reverse, but the inscription is there where it counts and...
Hi folks! Yet another new arrival here, although I've been lurking around without an account for a few months now. I've been collecting ancients...
