It has a little wear on the beard but I've always liked this portrait of Caracalla from 213. I got it for less than $20 too.... man I love ancient...
Best. Painting. Ever.
Nice coin! What’s the size and weight of these? Are they rare because few survive due to small size/poor metal (but many were made) or because few...

Hi @Beginner345, There is a search function on this board for searching terms like “limes denaris.” This is usually the best course of action when...
Haha, “the Kevin specials” that made me laugh. Poor Kevin, or Kevicus/Kevianus as he may have been know to his mint buddies... He had a lot of bad...
I did the same thing when I started with ancients! Mine held about 50 coins... I blew past that number pretty quick and the poor box was banished...

Wow, what cleaning techniques did the seller use?
I've done this before.... the times that it's happened to me is when I've planned on bidding late on a coin and then forgotten, catching the...
Here's one that I'd always meant to make a write-up for but never did. A fun 3D temple! I haven't done it any favors with the photos though......
With the radiate crown on the obverse bust... it’s not Constantine. Probably Gallienus or ClaudiusII! If you post better photos we can let you...
Oooh! I like Quintillus' ugly coins for some reason... I guess it's just because how short and insignificant his reign was. Here's my favorite. I...
Ya know... these may have been considered ugly at the time but I think this one looks pretty cool now. I'd drive this one... if it could stay...
My first thought after seeing the portrait was Caracalla... I’m not sure but we’re both in what I suspect to be the right time frame. IDing the...
