Bingo! I just pulled up several varieties of this on RPC online and I feel a match coming on - that "O" in the reverse inscription was a...
Commodus is on my list for sure. hotwheelsearl's Commodus has a very similar portrait to mine. On acsearch just found a Philip II from Bizas...
I was wondering that too, but his titles were usually so long I ruled him out because of the number of letters on the obverse. But I am still...
Thank you! Yes! Yes, I think that is what it is. I did some preliminary Google image searches and already the snake-around-a-rock (or omphalos)...
This has me stumped - I have looked at a lot of small Roman Provincial AEs with clusters of grapes and there are a lot more of them than I...
Interesting coin - I was not aware of this mint. The portrait is rounder than Aurelian is usually rendered - he almost looks like a later...

Nice Characene tet. Interesting comment on the British Mesopotamian Campaign in World War I. From what I can tell, Characene is a great example...

I poked around CT and I didn't find much on the Characene Kingdom, and no threads with the word in the title. Since I never heard of the place...
I don't clean stuff very often - I definitely would've left the OP examples alone - the colors were nice. This Nerva is the only thing I feel I...
My whole collection is a series of snacks. I'm glad you posted this, RC. Last year I got two RIC 861 - or I think that is what they are. The...
Wow - that is an impressive start to what promises to be a fine collection. Those are some nice coins!
