@Bob L. I have just concluded reading your work (my cup of tea has gone cold). You are to be congratulated on putting that together and I...
Sorry. I have been asleep for a while. (It has just gone 5:30 a.m. and I am back on deck.) @Bob L. Thanks for coming in Bob. Great to hear from...
Thanks, Doug. I note that you call your first example "Kamnaskires-Orodes III". Weren't they two different rulers? Would you suggest this coin to...
Wasn't 'Elymais' Jethro's sister in "The Beverly Hillbillies"? (Now I am showing my age.) No, really, I hadn't heard of Elymais until I started...
It is said that (on the obverse) we have the image of the ruler with a 'dot' in a crescent above an anchor. Here is a reference to the 'Hanging...

@John Anthony and @dougsmit I think you may have my only Constans with two standards, Nicomedia (I think). (Not an excellent example, either.)...
Thank-you, TIF. I did 'google' Mionnet but I didn't get anything. I appreciate the reference, (very much). From the reference that you have given...
Since getting into 'ancients' my buying 'regime' has mostly been comprised of "I don't have one of those - I will buy it", or, "That is a better...
Great write-up (as usual) M.M. and I love the Siliqua. I don't have a silver Siliqua of Magnus Maximus, only this (scarce) bronze MAGNUS MAXIMUS...
Mine. [ATTACH]
Here's mine. (Yours is so much better.) Achaemenid kings of Persia, time of Artaxerxes- Darius III, C.a 430-350 BC AR Siglos 15mm 5.53 g Persian...
Nice coin, Arnoldoe. I really like these and your example is great!
