How do you figure that?
Wow Carausius, thanks for going to the trouble. I hope it works out okay for ya. I appreciate being able to confirm on the references so we can...
Thanks for chiming in zumbly. I tried acsearch. Do you by chance happen to know the auction house and sale date where his coin was offered/sold?...
For a fixed chronology, Crawford is indeed frustrating, but he does work with a relative chronology based on progressions in both obverse and...
I'm afraid so Andrew. That paper is dated to 1958, 15 years prior to Crawford (1974). In the interim (1966-68) Alföldi published his Beiträge...
Hi Andrew. Congrats on securing a lifetime denarius. I know how important it is to you to have that, and I celebrate your success. May I...
Ah, thank you everyone. CNG and I are old friends, though I tend to use it more for varietal information rather than pricing. That needs another...
Interesting. One coin, two different anvil dies. I too suspect as you have suggested that the break pattern on the secondary obverse strike, "P...
I would love to know how to do searches like that, but I cannot afford $600 per year for the privilege. If you have a method that is more cost...
Doug, thanks for showing the Caelestis items. They are indeed interesting, and your approach is attractive to the puzzle-guy in me. I...
Thanks everyone, I too am leaning as you are. I was having some trouble finding a left facing Pudicitia among the Domna issues from Rome. I was...
Good point. Don't know if the face could be seen if it was in hand. I'd want to angle it around to see what other lighting reveals.
Perhaps I should have added that for the coins of Julia Domna both full face and profile views of Pudicitia are represented. The coin above is...
At the time of yesterday's CNG electronic auction 425, I got busy on a project for my wife and totally forgot about the sale. Only later did I...
The point is that we are only seeing half of whatever the object is. The example on the left has the striations that we agree are consistent with...
If only that were true. But for some late Roman bronze of the house of Constantine the mm can have "CON" in it for Constantia, another name for...
Linking those mosaics to a coin image is first rate numismatic detective work. That is the stuff of primary scholarship. Bravo, JC!! That is...
Well, here's a pair: Veiled, same as yours: [ATTACH] Faustina I, AD 138-141. Roman AR Denarius, 3.40 g, 16.7 mm, 6 h. Rome, AD 147-161. Obv:...
Better late than never, I guess. Here is a nearly fully silvered quarter follis of Romulus. The coin is about half way between an AE3 and 4...
Ooooohh, I like yours much more than mine. On yours you can SEE the "stars" on her midriff. But also you can see the full length of the scepter,...
