12-hour rule. Back to Gallienus: Gallienus, Billon Antoninianus, 267-268 AD, Rome Mint (8th Officina). Obv. Radiate head right, GALLIENVS AVG /...
I disagree. There's nothing wrong whatsoever with calling people's attention to the fact that there are a lot of legionary denarii available in an...
No apologies necessary. Good luck!
A great coin indeed! Yours, I assume?
An interesting "device" behind Roma. I'm not sure what I'd call that shape -- which seems to have a point at the lower left -- but it definitely...
This is how your "fix" looks together with the reverse -- a vast improvement over the original photos (both the dealer's and mine), I think, and a...
Thanks! Those do look like triangles containing circles. Interestingly, the dealer's description of my coin described the device as triangular --...

Fascinating article, @Alegandron. I have only two ancient coins with camels, both of which have already been posted in this thread -- one of them...
Very much on my want list, but I'm afraid I don't have one yet.

Congratulations on a great acquisition! Like many others, I have only a Hostilian as Caesar, namely the rather common Mars the Defender type --...
Maybe I can see what you mean a little in the photo. In person, I don't see it. But the photo is still closer to reality, I think, than the other...
How far back does it go?
ACSearch is certainly better suited to my needs, given that the annual subscription price is a small fraction of that of Coin Archives. And I...
Not in my eyes! But I don't really see that in the photo, either.
I was still very unhappy with both the dealer's and my photos of the obverse of this coin, so I tried one more time in natural lighting on a...
