Nice coins! No Neronian tets in my collection, but Apollo / Nero (?) twangs the lyre on this budget Imperial As I got in an undescribed eBay lot....
Bringing up this thread because I just got another Julia Domna denarius with a non-official reverse - this one featuring FIDES PVBLICA from...
Here's another one - this has the star in the right field, as a couple others in this thread have (including TIF's which has been erased). Mine...
Nice coins in this thread. Mine's a little cruddy, but Elagabalus has a horn, so I'll pile it on: [ATTACH] Elagabalus Denarius...
Great post. How's about a couple of bug-eyed Byzantine royalty? Justin II and wife Sophia, looking like grasshoppers on a follis from Nicomedia:...
Thank you, Seth. I had a feeling I didn't have that attribution nailed down. The variations in lettering kind of reminds me of English hammered...
A very interesting post. This is an area of numismatics and history about which I am woefully ignorant. But history for me tends to "come alive"...
Happy St. Patrick's Day, y'all. My state's governor shut down the bars and restaurants because of the coronavirus, so my own personal...

This is a very, very informative and valuable post. Thank you, RC.
Nice looking coin, Clavdivs. I only have a couple of Constantius II, and I find them to be interesting, though I don't actively seek them out....
Nice anchor countermark! You might want to check out this thread - lots of good information on military mint countermarks of the Seleucids, etc....
Welcome to Coin Talk. I stalked for several months before joining. Then I joined. This is NOT the place to come to get over an ancients...
Welcome to ancients - they are a lot of fun, and sometimes a bit frustrating to figure out. I'd agree that's Valentinian. I have a similar -...
Thanks for the info Curtis. I appreciate it. I'll update my attribution accordingly.
Just got this one last week and found it was interesting to attribute. Hadrian has what is for me the biggest Aegis around - looks like those...
Nice one, RC. I like the way the patina highlights the legends and devices. From what I can tell the Apameia "Marsyas" type is pretty common,...
