Happy 3rd anniversary to you Orfew, and hats off to the man who stimulated me to finish my 12 Caesars set in silver after all these years. It has...
Eye of the beholder, I guess, but with all due respect for your feelings that coin was not a beauty. Too many unclear letters in the inscription,...
Not sure what Jax'd means, but I can't take "credit" for this since it came to me this way. Not sure what happened to it, but on a hunch I'm...
Here are a couple Delmatius GE reverses with 2 standards: Cyzicus <star>SMK<delta>[ATTACH] Rome R<star>S [ATTACH] Thessalonika single...
Here's a nice two-tone job also from Siscia: [ATTACH] But to break ranks, here's a similar example from Cyzicus: [ATTACH] Tomorrow I'll come...
Wow, did you just recently acquire these?
So this hoard study by Carson and Burnett lines up much of the whole series. But the later series elements (wreath, frond, and reduced size) are...
Not sure what you meant by "totally solid and compound" but I would not break it. At 11cm it could well be a mace head if it is solid, but if...
Thank you again, Genio, this really fills in a blank for me!! I appreciate your willingness to share. Bruun had deferred to LRBC for the...
Thank you Genio pop rom! Not only do I see how they look, but with the coins just above them I think I can get a sense of scale. To see so many...
Thanks for the word about the BM example; I will save my money. So you have seen images of both styles. Great! How do they stack up for size...
Good eye, Victor!! Thanks. But I think the wreath is in the wrong place for #259. His siglum for the short series of which 259 is a part shows...
The Wikipedia paragraph is poorly written because it conflates too many phenomena into a single paragraph. They mention the formation of a green...
Ah, hmmmm. Mostly that's true, but for Lugdunum, the boys did not use the Constantinopolis type (hence not in RIC VIII). The size change to...
On that swirling shield coin, I never noticed that it has a botched Z for the officina. Not sure what kind of comparisons you have in mind for...
You're showing some nice examples Martin. Great to see. The variation on the wing spread seems to vary by the series, since all three you are...
After checking my scales against a standard 700 grain weight it was off by .1 grain. Close enough. I just ran the weights on a dozen sigloi: a...
Since no one else has shown one so far, I may as well embarrass myself. After 30 years of collecting these sigloi, mainly for the countermarks, I...
Uh, oh...Looks like Eve got into the tree again!
:shame:;)
