The coins have arrived today. I must say, I am really happy with them. I usually don't land great deals, but these coins were cheap for what they...
Great coin and fantastic write-up. I love the maps of Antioch and all the detail about the catastrophies that befell the city. Here is a...
I have this Antoninian of Salonina: SALONINA AVG // DEAE SEGETIAE The coin is better than the picture, but nevertheless wenn a very nice...
This is my favorite Arcadius follis. How needs a solidus if you can have a follis with this kind of detail. Note the emperor's dress and the...
I bought this solidus of Aelia Pulcheria "by accident" that is a entered a low bid, fully expecting to be outbid. For some reason nobody else was...
I checked it, its from Alföldi's publication. He shows that: Victoria I: the victory over the Alamanni at Milan Victoria II: the destruction of...

That is very interesting. Is the attribution to the victory over Regalian based on the 1929 study by Andreas Aföldi? The coins of Regalian and...
Once I have the coin, I will post better pictures (unless I'm completely dissappointed of course) :-)

I bought the two coins below on Ebay. I don't yet have the coins, but the deal looks promising. Each coin was offered at EUR 45. I offered 39 and...
Again, many thanks. That is so helpful
Thanks a lot, that is very helpful. I agree, based on style I tend to think that the mint is Milan rather than Viminacium. Here is another...
I find it quite difficult to determine the mints at which coins of Valerian I were struck. For example, the coin below; I have it down as Rome...
I have encountered these red deposits on Gallienus' coins before. Personally, I don't think they add anything to the coin. Instead, they are ugly...
I really don't like this "buy or bid" format at all. The interesting pieces sell quickly, on first come first serve basis. I was usually...
Abschlags (proper plural form is "Abschläge") were still produced in the 18th century, for example of Prussian coronation and tribute coins. These...
Could it be that this reverse is rarer than I thought? I checked in acsearch were similar pieces were described as rare (R1)....
Another PAX AVG from Milan. The first one above shows Pax walking, this one shows Pax standing. The portrait is superbe. [ATTACH] This one also...
