What's the world coming to?! Unbelievable.
Especially your third coin is simply magnificent, @Tejas . Wow! Here is a much more pedestrian Constantine II example featuring the Trier fur...
Nice coins and write-up! Here are some of my Vesta coins: [ATTACH] Caligula, Roman Empire, As, 37–38 AD, Rome mint. Obv: C CAESAR GERMANICVS...
Mín blíðnes!
I assume you accidentally posted this in the wrong subforum. It probably should go into "bullion investing." Maybe a moderator can move your...
Yes, they are – if you want to do more reading on this subject, I can strongly recommend this book. It's very reabable yet thorough, and it...
Nice new acquisition and good luck with learning Old English! Medieval philology is a wonderful field. Much of my medieval German collection,...

Nice sestertii! I especially like the pulvinar reverse with the facing peacock. That's an interesting consecration type. Here are two denarii of...
Good question! I'd say that this is completely up to you. RIC does it and generally organizes pre-tetrarchy Roman Imperial coins by the ruler in...
Depending on their reverse type and condition, I'd say that the Maxentius in the second row and the larger Licinius in the bottom row are worth...

This is a very reasonable suggestion. There is no reason to doubt Rick's story. When I was in Israel some months ago, I saw a number of shops in...
