I have just the one: [ATTACH] Fausta AE Follis, London, 324-325. 19mm, 2.93g. FLAV MAX FAVSTA AG. SALVS REIPVBLICAE, Fausta standing, looking...
The layout isn't too helpful for browsing. Lots of white space and half a line of description. One says 'England, Anglo-Saxon, Kings of Denmark...
Eyes suitably watering...although this way I can browse and there's no chance I'll be tempted to spend...
Particularly if in 1453 the Byzantines decided to move the capital back to Rome to get away from the Ottomans...
I think we are all 95% in agreement here. However, if you try to impose this rule (ethnicity, language and religion) on the Roman Empire at any...
I would say the term 'Roman' no longer meant 'a person from Rome who spoke Latin', precisely because it evolved and assimilated other cultures....
This reminds me of Russian 'wire' dengas and kopeks. The design was much larger than the flan, so it never comes close to fitting. This is a Peter...
Presumably it's a deposit rather than rust
True, but perhaps a little harsh on the Byzantines. The Roman Empire had been decentralised back in the 280s by Diocletian (a Croatian who ruled...
For me, Byzantine is outside my main collecting area so 'feels' twice as expensive as something I really 'need'. (So is gold, come to think of...
I agree. After all, 'auction house photos' are professionally shot, so that's the way to achieve that. They will use expensive cameras (great to...
You're right. They are good value... Hang on, don't provide a good reason to give in to temptation...:nailbiting: I already went off-piste this...
I agree with Doug that it depends on too many things to be able to quantify. I bought this Aethelred II penny because it had peck marks: [ATTACH]...
Really nice. The portraits are all pretty much perfect. I can match the set but not the quality: [ATTACH] Diocletian, 298-300, London, 10.65g,...
I gave it 9, because I'll be getting an East Harptree siliqua when I find one I like that fits budget, and this would be pretty close on the...
Was that Caps XL 29-76mm?
It might also depend on your metal detector. The older the coin is, the deeper it is likely to be, so you'll only find coins as old as your...
Great post, thank you! When I was at school, William I was the 'start' of English history. 1066 is perhaps the most well-known date in England. As...
These are great coins, I always like looking through them. Very old too. Although how 'affordable' they are reminds me why I have to limit my...
Yes. I think the others are simply called heart-shaped aes formatum. A lot of it comes from Italy
