I think anything post-49 BCE qualifies as "Late Republic," what with that river being crossed and all. So, this: Roman Republic, Q. Caecilius...
Sorry, I didn't recognize his young self. I was focusing on the Jupiter.
Next is a Nero Provincial!
Some really high-quality pieces in that auction, especially the Egyptian and Near Eastern antiquities on the first couple of pages. Some of the...
Wait, where did you learn that the pileus on that coin is supposed to be "in the sky." It's news to me! Anyway, here's another Antonia: Claudius...
I respect both you and @Herodotus. I suggest that instead of insulting each other, you simply put each other on ignore. Easy-peasy!
Exactly! "Most people" wouldn't go online and search for "coin dealers near me" in the first place if they were interested in buying ancient...

Third party grader?

I like all three! Here is my only Honorius: Western Roman Empire, Honorius (son of Theodosius I and younger brother of Arcadius), 393-423 AD, AV...
A beautiful coin! Here are some of my own favorite Martians (I'm old enough to remember that show!). I've posted all of them multiple times...
Thanks so much, @GinoLR. It remains a small world, especially for me with respect to anyone living in Germany, France, or even England (where my...
