I am highly skeptical of the story that Nero killed his second wife Poppea by kicking her in the stomach while she was pregnant, but if it's...
Is that in Romanian? Edited to add: sorry; didn't see the previous comment.
I haven't tried to research the type, but the right-facing eagle and dolphin are new to me. Have you tried looking in the online SNG UK? See...
Thanks for the detailed write-up. It's difficult to believe that such battles to the death between pairs of large animals (lions, tigers, bulls,...
These are all very nice. I particularly like the Commodus with the lighthouse reverse. It may be common in theory, but I haven't seen that many...
I wasn't even looking for it particularly, but when I saw it on V-coins I couldn't believe how reasonable the price was given its eye appeal...
Those are both great coins. You can really see the phoenix held by Pronoia. I don't know whether to believe the theory that the coin anticipates...
I would love a Roman Alexandrian coin with an Egyptian temple on the reverse, like yours. They seem extremely rare to me.
Amazing condition -- I'm not surprised you kept it! One rarely sees Roman Alexandrian coins that look that pristine.
I love your Zodiac coins. The Mars in Aries is superb!
I really like both types. I almost never buy a second Alexandrian coin with the same reverse design as one I already have, but did so in this case...
If it's a fake, it seems rather unlikely that it's a modern one. The only type of Hadrian that seems like it possibly fits is an Isis Pharia...
As I understand it, Pegasi ceased doing business after Eldert Bontekoe died, and Nick Economopoulos, the other partner (or one of them) now...
It's 10. I have no special privileges, believe me!
PS: This wouldn't fit in the OP, which already had 10 images: it's the listing for the Salonina/Tyche tetradrachm as part of Lot 209 in the Coin...
I've bought half a dozen Roman Alexandrian coins over the last few months, but decided to wait until the last one arrived to mention them, so I...
Thanks to all of you. I am told that recovery from laser surgery is supposed to be a lot faster than from the old-fashioned kind. That sounds...
Wow -- a lot of beautiful coins!
I forgot to mention that my plans to attend are predicated on the assumption that the cataract surgery on my left eye that I've scheduled for the...
No more boring than a lot of U.S. coins!
