This is fairly handy....
Yes, that's the same conclusion I came to. I am admittedly inexperienced with Domna coins, but I noticed that the more bona fide Scantillas had...
I took a look at the obverse to see if I could make anything out of the legends and was not able to. Some Domna (of the Juno type) have...
I recently purchased an inexpensive (very inexpensive as Scantillas would go) worn sestertius. However, after some counter-opinions, I think it...
I still recommend the history podcasts. My parents have been going through the Totalus Rankium podcasts. That might lead to more of a focused...
Caesar coins just go for crazy money, nowadays. My elephant is holed, but otherwise not horrible, acquired during the 1990's. You also have...
That's a really handsome set, and compiled in record time! Titus was the one to finally complete my set. It deserves an applause emoji!

That's a neat road sign. My nicest one is actually a laureate sestertius. Here's a recent, not-so-nice one, purchased as a tagalong and...
I bought this trachy of the Byzantine bad boy, Andronicus I, for $35. There's usually only one or two of these on vcoins at once time. [ATTACH]...
I don't fully understand the question, but the denarii, while scarcer than the Ant's, are fairly affordable, and one can get a quite decent...
While not an expert on modern coinage, I would also postulate that while attractive, it's probably faux toning. No ancient coin (and to be fair,...
Here's a decrepit example of a rare and popular type, the forgiveness of debts, in which Hadrian had the outstanding tax records burned. [ATTACH]...
I proudly couldn't name a song of hers. For this thread I went to youtube, punched up her greatest hits, suffered through about 10 seconds each...

It is unusually neat for the type. I'm more partial to the ones which are very close to official. I remember when Dr. Fishman had bulk lots of...
Cool. I don't have any of these but I seem to recall Alex Malloy having a quantity in his catalog, back in the 90's.
Indeed. The Totalus Rankium podcasts extend to the Byzantine era. They have a podcast about Romanus III. I don't think one will be able to tell...
