Congrats on the addiction control for the second half of the year :D Some great coins and an area I've neglected. I just saw snakes and a...
Here's one which reprises the type above, but with Apollo instead of Roma on the obverse. It's part of a series of 3 denarii from 82-80BC which...
Congrats on a great year of collecting. I'm also a fan of RR coins, so like looking at them. I liked 11, 7, 9 best, but all are great. Roll...

This is the ancient coin I've had the longest. I bought a denarius of Marcus Aurelius as Caesar the year before, but it was stolen in 2004, along...
Super coins again, hard to pick a favourite, but the Syracuse tetradrachm and Leucas drachm are lovely. ATB, Aidan.
I believe the victoriatus was probably worth 3/4 of a denarius, so 7.5 asses. [Edit - it's far too late here - they weighed about 3/4 of s...
An old thread, but I got a coin today in the post which fits in with a place I visited a few years ago. Segesta - an ancient city in the...
No - the double victoriatus was the same design as the victoriatus, but double the weight. There was only one issue - Cr. 90/1 - and extremely...
Congrats - very nice coin. What you really need is the half quadrigatus, a scarcer beast than the quadrigatus; the victoriatus is a later coin....
Very nice, Frizzy! A great selection of RR coins in 2021. I voted for numbers 9, 8 & 6, but they're all great. ATB, Aidan.
@Severus Alexander - very sorry to hear of the tough diagnosis - your attitude and spirit are to be commended and of course I hope for a positive...
Nice selection! I voted for 3, 6 and 10, though I liked the sixth stater immediately too. And I had initially voted for the Dyrrhachion stater...
A great year indeed, I can see why you're a happy collector :) ATB for some more in 2022. Aidan.

Reckless abandon is good and is sometimes my strategy too. I see that I've bought 255 lots from Naville since their first sale in 2013 (5 lots)...
Indeed :D I couldn't locate my copy of "1066 And All That", so I am paraphrasing, but it recounts that the ancient Gauls were discouraged when...
If you look at reply #8 in this link about these IMPERATORE medals: http://www.worldofcoins.eu/forum/index.php/topic,882.0.html "A big THUMBS UP...
