I think I probably will. It isn't at all distracting in hand.
That's a beautiful coin! If it's horn silver, would you try to do something about it or leave it alone? I've never tried removing horn silver...
You evil man! Now I can't unsee my Domitian staring with intense, heavy-lidded interest at the rear end of Pegasus.
For years, I've had exactly one Domitian denarius, with -- naturally -- Minerva on the reverse: [ATTACH] (RIC II-1 667 (2007 ed.), old RIC II...
Wow! If Faustina could only talk, what a tale she could tell about coming through the fire. If that's really the temple of Agathodaemon, it...
Always a frustrating situation. I believe there's still at least one German dealer, Münzhandlung Ritter in Düsseldorf, that refuses to ship to the...
I like the list of topics in the book that archive.org provides: cults, baths, and baths.
What a cool book! [IMG] The illustration on the left reminds me a bit of the reverse of the Nero drachm from Antioch that I just posted earlier...
Wow, thank you, and thanks to @Roman Collector for his fascinating (as usual!) post on the subject. I had no idea. Interesting that most of the...
Two more new Roman Egyptian coins, just arrived yesterday, although neither is nearly as special or unusual as the two from Naville. Except...
How about his big brother: Eastern Roman Empire, Arcadius (son of Theodosius I and older brother of Honorius), 383-408 AD, AV Solidus 397-402 AD,...
Here's a little coin I bought because I thought the young head of Nero was quite well-done, and the reverse design was interesting: Nero AR...
Was this one of those people who believes that the Roman Empire didn't actually exist? Or was it the Middle Ages that supposedly never existed? I...
How late does a coin have to be to qualify as a LRB? Is Tacitus too early? Tacitus, silvered billon Antoninianus, Lugdunum [Lyons] Mint, First...
Congratulations. It's admittedly over-cleaned, but the serpent and horse are extremely clear and well-defined. I was very tempted to bid on this...
Did anyone buy or bid on Lot 331 in the Naville auction, the drachm with an Egyptian-style temple on the reverse? It's a very rare type that I've...
Yes, I'm highly embarrassed to be associated with the lot of you. What will people at a certain other website think of these frivolous interruptions??
I wonder if the thesis author went there all the way from the UK and took the photo herself, or if the ANS has photos that it doesn't place online.
I no longer have any of the world coins I paid the most for; I sold them all years ago to Stack's Bowers. But this is what my records say I paid...
My one didrachm from Caesarea, with a very impressive club on the reverse: Hadrian, AR Didrachm, 128-138 AD, Caesarea, Cappadocia Mint. Obv....
