That's Roma, not Constantinopolis! We still need a Constantinopolis.
I think it's beautiful! (You have a typo in your reverse legend -- it should be PR, not RR.) I have two "VIRTVS PROBI AVG" coins, both from the...
The coin in the OP looks OK to me, even if it's a little rough/porous. Here are my four Diocletians, from four different mints. He really did...
Constantine I, Billon reduced Centenionalis, Siscia Mint 334-335 AD. Obv. Bust of Constantinopolis left, wearing laureate helmet and imperial...
I believe that Mr. Berk is mistaken, unless he knows something that every other authority on these coins doesn't know. I have never, ever seen...
Here's mine; it's certainly understandable that someone could misread the officina number: Gallienus, Billon Antoninianus, Rome Mint, 9th...
Indeed, it does! And that's what really matters to me. Regardless of whether the coin was intended to celebrate the birth of Lucilla or a...
You and @curtislclay agree on the last point: he refuted the "twin boys" notion in his 2014 Forvm posts, stating that the crossed cornucopiae show...
But aren't you sort of engaging in circular reasoning, by assuming that it's a she? It seems to me that to disprove @curtislclay's argument...
Here's a nice chocolaty Marcus Aurelius sestertius, showing him raising Italia on the reverse: [ATTACH] A Maximinus Thrax sestertius with a...
I honestly see only one stephane. So a girl and a boy, perhaps.

That probably makes better sense. It's too easy sometimes to explain things away by saying they were erroneous. It's clear that the change-over...
I am not sure he's allowed to do so here. it's www.charles riley.co.uk, I think.
Thanks. So -- leaving aside the issue of Lucilla's birth year -- you no longer believe that, as you concluded in 2014, the minting of the TR P...
I see that @Roman Collector posted an apparently earlier example of Laetitia in a thread in Dec. 2020 (see...
I should have mentioned before that Charles is the dealer from whom I bought the Iris medal. I first bought medals from him about 15 years ago and...
For anyone who doesn't know, Glen Lindwall sells on VCoins through his company Musa Numismatic Arts. I have bought from him, and recommend him as...
A couple of additional points. First, although the chronology of undated coins is always somewhat uncertain, it seems clear that the earliest...
I thought at first that you were kidding, but it's true! She really was the Price of Fisher-Price! I knew her only from her children's books and...
Separate names with a comma.
