I didn't bid. Seeing the opening bids and knowing today's market I knew it'd be a pointless effort. But I did get a nice paper catalog from Leu,...
Then again: I've been taught we always should question our sources... ;) [ATTACH] This is where it gets confusing. Here's Apollo Delphios....
His father claimed descent from Herakles, he himself settled for Ammon. He had the horns to prove it, so who am I to argue.:) [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...
[ATTACH] Next: let's do some light, bright silver for a change.
The only coin I ever sold. I regret that now. [ATTACH] Next: more toned silver.
Nice coin, @Parthicus. Here's my coin with Lycian script. It's from the dynast Kherei. The only Greek is the letter 'P', the rest are uniquely...
Gonatas seems a logical choice. [ATTACH] (sorry for posting the same coin twice on one night). Next: helmet
Nice coin,@ambr0zie. Congrats! Not quite sure what to make of the countermark. Vaguely reminiscent of a (Macedonian) helmet? Like the control on...
Congrats, Ryro. Cool coin!:) The more I look at that shield the less sense it makes to me. A lion? A happy, smiling baby griffin? But I can't...
Welcome to CT @JJ Walker :) Ancient artefacts and jewellery are nice. Just a kind word of caution, though: there are a LOT of fakes around. This...
To my eyes the reverse looks a bit more coroded than the obverse, so, whatever else is wrong with it, that side may well have been more exposed to...
Black roast, golden taste, a dash of frothing milk, and Spes happy to serve it. Who said Domitian didn't appreciate the simple things in life?...
Ah! So you're the one that snagged that one...Congrats! I had more than half an eye on it, but decided to bid on something else at the last moment...
Thank you, @Spaniard. :) Looks like it took you one minute to find what I couldn't find in an hour of searching!
That's a very nice example, @lordmarcovan. Congrats! Nice silver and good strike. You're lucky to have the mint and date attribution. You're way...
If you hadn't moved them, I most likely wouldn't have heard of them. Thanks for the link and the interesting read. :)
That as certainly looks a lot better in hand than in Savoca's photo. Congrats! Trying to determine what a coin will look like in hand from...
Wow! Some amazing artefacts! I've read about the find and have seen some of the uncovered busts, but I've never seen pics of the museum. Looks as...
12hour rule. Killing griffins is just wrong! [ATTACH] Some descriptions say the animal on the obverse is a winged lion and not a griffin. It's...
[ATTACH] Next: a stag, but not from Ephesos.
