I'm sure @Roman Collector can give you whatever the current scholarship has concluded is the total number of children. I vaguely recall that...
I would love a coin depicting Trajan's father! Some of my favorite Trajans: Dacian captive in mourning: [ATTACH] And four Provincials: Camel...
Beautiful example! Here's mine, which I guess I could have posted in the recent "dark silver" thread: [ATTACH]
It is Horus, in his child aspect as Harpocrates (which simply means "Horus as child"). The question mark was as to whether Harpocrates also...
Wow on the family tree! Nice coin, too.
I recently received a new denarius of Faustina II, with a reverse depicting her (or, more precisely, Fecunditas representing her) holding one...
My example of the centaur, 8th Officina (H), the same type as the one you posted, holding a globe and reversed rudder (there's also a type with a...
Unless we decide to be buried with our coins, thereby taking them with us.
I haven't actively collected stamps since I was about 9 years old: despite his strenuous efforts, my father never succeeded in persuading me not...
Wonderful! But I am curious: exactly who decided that the "cistophoric tetradrachms" bearing Imperial (or Imperatorial) portraits should continue...
I suppose the reason why there's been so much effort expended towards dating the PTOL- series of Tralleis cistophoric tetradrachms -- work that...

By the time of Volusian, how much silver was really in the antoniniani? That question made me reluctant to consider anything after, say, the first...
I think these two Gallienus antoniniani from the Zoo series -- showing a tigress and a gryphon -- are probably my favorites, not only because I...
A few of my darker silver coins: Tiberius: [ATTACH] Septimius Severus [ATTACH] Lucius Verus denarius: [ATTACH] Lucius Verus didrachm,...
Fascinating. BMC 22 Lydia 48 (at p. 333) (available online) is a Year 5 (E). It's not illustrated, but the reverse is described as depicting...
@Sulla80, a great coin. I don't think these coins are ugly at all! If I did, I wouldn't have bought my own cistophoric tetradrachm from Tralleis,...
Thank you! No way I would ever have figured that one out!
Here's an Alexandrian Year 19 with the number spelled out -- I don't know if it incorporates the spelled-out word for 9. Hadrian, Billon...
Nice! Who is the other person on the reverse? Aurelius?
