Here's my only, very humble example of a coin of Aemilian, which came from a lot of uncleaned coins many years ago. It also answers @Tejas' 2nd...
Agreed. That's about the nicest hybrid I've seen. But 330 is the beginning date for the Rome/Constantinople commemorative issue. According to...
Looks like an interesting article. Here's the first sentence: "Although Constantine was the first Christian emperor, his reign was marred by more...
In a recent discussion (Nova Roma Commemorative) both @Heliodromus and I discussed the possibility that the VRBS ROMA/two soldier and the...

Whether to call the surface "patina" or "encrustation" is kind of a moot point with this coin. It looks like there is something corroding the...
Is this generally agreed upon? I was under the impression that there was still disagreement about whether they were contemporaneous or were minted...
Yeah, it does. You know how sometimes images of the previous emperor will appear on the earliest coins of the following emperor? This is an...
That's my suspicion.
I no longer own this coin, but it has a very unusual portrait: [ATTACH] Mediolanum mint, sole reign (A.D. 260-268) Obv: GALLIENVS AVG - Radiate,...
So what was repaired, the coin or the photo? It would take me about 15 seconds to change photo #2 into photo #1 with Photoshop.
