A specific example: this extremely nice, well-centered Vibius Pansa (Crawford 342/3a) with a reverse showing Ceres with torches preceded by a pig...
Are those all yours? The one at the bottom is fantastic!
I don't think you really want me to detail the past history of "subtweeting" me that led me to draw certain conclusions here. Even if you didn't...
Congratulations! Glad you stuck it out and ended up getting a very nice coin.
Note that in citing RSC, both the Cederlind listings and your mystery catalog place a hyphen between the gens name and the type number, which...
I don't know what you're talking about regarding deleting things. Considering that the person in question was specifically addressing my old...
Stop the nonsense. Nobody's baiting you. My comment was made 9 months ago, and it wasn't my idea to dredge it up. In fact, I specifically said...
My first thought was the the omission of a Crawford number meant that the catalog predated Crawford's publication in 1974, and that the S-366 was...
I was blown out of the water for the one coin on which I bid with Soler y Llach. It was this one, which probably shouldn't be a surprise given how...
Again appreciated, but please see my previous comment!
Thanks, but I'd really rather not be reminded of a 9-month old thread and disagreement with another member. The general principles may still...
An excellent series of books, I agree! Cicero is also a major repeating character in Steven Saylor's long-running series of "Gordianus the Finder"...
So strong that I'm not optimistic about getting the one coin I want, no matter how carried away I get.
Another left-facing bust (the same type as @Roman Collector's): Germanicus (died 19 AD, father of Caligula [Gaius] & brother of Claudius), AE As,...
I did, and it worked. Thanks! Now I have the opportunity to get carried away beyond all reason!
Wow! I guess I would call all of these Republican Provincial coins rather than RR coins per se. Analogous to the distinction between Roman...
I don't believe those two Terentia coins had anything to do with Cicero's first wife Terentia. Rather, they were coins issued by the Terentia gens...
It's not really remarkable that there were no Roman Republican coins in his name, for the simple reason that he never served in the office of...
By the way, there are seven more Roscius Fabatus denarii for sale in another Spanish auction, tomorrow's Soler y Llach sale (Lots 374-380). None...
A nice example of a really interesting type I've never seen before. Any idea how long ago the repair was done? I suppose it's good that the repair...
Separate names with a comma.
