Nice coin. I don't have Diocletian yet, but I'm hoping for an early London nummus later in the year if I find a nice one.
That's a bizarre error. I can understand them listing it as a sestertius with the correct measurements present, but I have no idea how the could...
[ATTACH] This one definitely counts. As soon as I spotted it I knew I wanted it. I'm usually pretty good at sticking to my coin budget,...
Well, regardless of who minted it, it's a charming little bronze.
Congrats! That's an attractive set, and I especially like the Galba. Thanks for providing the prices too. I know it is considered a crass by...
@zumbly definitely a doxodile.
Cracking coin, I love the type.

Fascinating post, thanks!
I was also going to point out Titus-Tyche. That is a curious issue, especially considering the fact that the metal is orichalcum for all the...
Great write up, thanks. I really need to revisit the Illiad with a good mythological dictionary and some old maps to try and make something more...
A lifetime Faustina is on my (long) list of wants for the year. I find Faustina the elder an unusual contrast to the coinage of Marcus Aurelius...
That's a beautifully preserved coin, and aesthetically beautiful too. Nice.
I'd say it's Mars all day, but I am developing a fondness for eccentric old numismatists who make wild claims without backing them up. Like...
They are all great coins, but the Caracalla is my favourite. I have the VICT BRIT types by the Severans high on my list of desired types for my...
