A great coin. I'm not sure if that's Virtus herself on the reverse -- it's sometimes difficult to tell when she isn't portrayed with an obviously...
Wonderful portrait and coin!
Thanks!
Could you please identify the new one?
Here's my one coin with oxen, as promised: Roman Republic, C. [Gaius] Marius C.f. Capito, AR Serrate Denarius 81 BCE [Harlan: 81/80 BCE], Rome...
Thanks for the reminder! I meant to post my one "oxen" coin in your thread, but forgot to do so. I have to get to the post office before it closes...
I like both very much. Great idea for a thread. I bought these two at the same coin show circa 1985, somewhere in Manhattan, at a time when I...
My example (not a particularly nice one) is only 3.02 g. Julia Domna (wife of Septimius Severus), AR Denarius 198 AD, Rome Mint. Obv. Bust right,...
Drusus Minor or the Younger, full name Drusus Julius Caesar (13 BCE-23 AD, son of Tiberius and Vipsiana), AE As, 23 AD, Rome Mint, issued by...

Also: as I understand it, most of the unofficial medals for Edward VII's coronation have the original June date, because the private manufacturers...
Nice! the George VI medal is the same one I have. I keep forgetting that you collect things beyond just ancient coins!
Thank you! Anyone who reads the Ancient Coins forum knows that I've largely focused on building a collection of ancient coins for the last four or...
I don't know if anyone here collects this sort of medal, but in case anyone's interested, I thought I'd post the ones I own, in the trays in which...
Arguably, except for Night at the Opera and Day at the Races, neither team ever reached their earlier peak again. (Back when I was in high school,...
Please let us know what he says in his response. I find this issue very interesting, even beyond its significance to the interpretation of my new...
So it seems that the consensus is that the object I see is an optical illusion, created by what looks like an overlap with the dolphin's back. I...
You're right: the portrait is beautiful. And so is the reverse. Outstanding!
According to the Cedric Wolkow book on the Zoo Series of Gallienus (of which this coin is a part), and some other authorities I've seen, it's an...
