Hadrian, AE 18, Baris, Pisidia (SW Anatolia N of Lycia, near today’s Farı mevkii, Kılıç, Turkey), 118-138 AD. Obv. Laureate and draped bust right,...
Very nice! A couple of links that might interest people: A gallery of photos of more than 50 of Dammann's medals, including the two types I...
I agree. Much as I also love its predecessor, Art Nouveau, I can get a bit tired of Art Nouveau coins and medals sometimes -- they're beautiful,...
Utterly fascinating. I assume that that must be a translation into Italian, though, and that Zonaras wrote the original in Latin. I don't think...
I think I need to re-photograph a couple of them (denarii of Trajan and Hadrian) for which Roma's photos appear to be in black-and-white. But here...
I don't post often in this forum, but thought it was the right place to post a new Art Deco medal I just bought, by Paul-Marcel Dammann:...
There should be a "sad" button or a "cares" button, as on Facebook, so you don't think that liking your comment means I'm enjoying your...
Roman Republic, C.. Allius Bala, AR Denarius, 92 BCE, Rome mint. Obv.: Diademed female head (Diana?)* right, wearing necklace; BALA behind,...
That's a beautiful example of the type, and a great choice. Here's my example, which has a very worn and off-center reverse, although I'm fond of...
I do! If they're in Crawford, they count as far as I'm concerned. My total includes six coins also listed in Sear's Roman Imperators book [David...
In some ways it's good that RCV V has more varieties, including what seems like a separate entry for each type for each mint. Much more...
Great summary; thanks. I think that if one collects primarily denarii and not so much bronze coins, one should definitely consider Roman Silver...
No Phoenician coins other than the Trajan/Melqart from Tyre I just posted in another thread, but I love the story!
800, wow! I'm at 67 myself. A mere piker.
So I imagine you had something more like this in mind? Trajan AR Tetradrachm, 100 AD, Phoenicia, Tyre. Obv. Laureate head of Trajan right;...
If I can get one more in under the wire, in time for you to see it, here's perhaps my favorite depiction of a ship, even though it's not on an...
I actually have four varieties of Trajan camel coins, but have written up only two of them, including the one I posted above in this thread with a...
I forgot that I do have one anepigraphic denarius, albeit a not-in-great-condition (and thus relatively inexpensive) Octavian rather than one of...
Thanks. The first one has been my favorite Trajan denarius for a while -- both because of the great portrait of Trajan, and because of the...
I agree that OCRE has its problems, and is precisely as outdated as the particular volumes of RIC on which it's based -- with no attempt made to...
