Wow!! great coin. The shield is fantastic, showing the emperor on horseback among his troops.
I think the author of the post has good intentions, but is a victim of false assumptions: 1. He assumes that preventing people from showing off...
The child appears to be feeding the snake. I have not found any comparable depiction.
Wonderful OP coin with elegant portrait. I don't specialize in the first century and only have few coins from that period. This is my best...
No, I have to research that. There are hundreds of depictions of "Salus seated" on coins in acsearch, but I could not find another depiction where...
Hi Al, The interpretation of the shied decoration as rows of soldiers is accepted in the literature: https://www.probuscoins.fr/coin?id=1192 It...

I picked up a really nice Probus Antoninian on Ebay. The seller's picture was abysmal, which probably kept competition away. So I got the coin for...
Great write-up! I quickly went through my Victorinus coins and found two PAX with the palm branch, which I had never noticed before....
Thanks a lot. I don't yet have the coin in hand, but true, the style is nice, especially of the bust. According to the seller's description, the...
Thanks a lot. I also like how Jupiter's cape wraps around his arm and that it is long enough to break up the legend.
Thanks a lot! I found another example on acsearch, sold by Harlan J. Berk. Its condition is worse than mine, but it sold for USD 500 (some 10...
