Littleton Coins sometimes screws up. Here is a dupondius labeled as an as I got on eBay - I am not complaining! [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...
This is an ugly one from Casearea Martimia, but if my attribution is right, it is kind of interesting: [ATTACH] Titus / Hadrian Æ 22 (c. 73...
Since there was talk about Anastasius' large and small module follises, I thought I'd put them out there for a size comparison. My large module...
Well, this is terrible-looking, but it is Hekate riding sidesaddle on a lion, which supposedly has a dog's tail (the lion, not Hekate). A good...
There is no cure for T-bone fever. You just have to succumb! Here is my latest - a somewhat troubled Antioch provincial: [ATTACH]...
I found this discussion on FORVM giving prices and wages in bronze follises - it seems the big ones were spent individually, rather than bagged up...
It's not Bithynia, but it is Hadrian, and it is a "Koinon" - my first "Koinon" - which I have only the foggiest notions as to what that is (I plan...
Welcome to Byzantine collecting. It is a really interesting area - you're going to have fun. And just to show there is nothing to be...
Well I like anything with a countermark - that is indeed interesting. I wish I could help. That touching-the-head pose appears to be common -...
Thanks Ed - I appreciate the suggestion. I've been searching Hermes and Herakles, but I haven't had any luck - although there are so many types,...

I've been staring at these a lot. And staring at a lot of coins online, and I am growing more confused. Can anybody provide information on...
Crusty! Holy cow, that would be a Concours d'Elegance coin in my collection. I think it's lovely. Well-centered and well-struck, with an...
Fertility is what I thought too - the figure looks like one of those symbols of fecundity that empresses often had on their coins. But virtually...
That is some very impressive sleuthing, RC. I still struggle figuring out dates on the Imperial coins that come my way (in Latin)! I never...
Macrinus and his son, heads & tails, from Antioch: [ATTACH]
Thank you, catadc! I was leaning towards SB 180 but was unsure of my dots. The dented dot makes sense.
Interesting post as always, Jochen. I have one of those RR Cordia denarii - rather nicer than most of my stuff. I bought it 1990, back when I...
Yet more Byzantine Fever! I'm burnin' up over here...another way of saying more bottom-feeding eBay finds. The ASPI 16 nummi is not attributed...
