Great coin @Mat and thread. Nice coins and pictures everyone. I like to look at Byzantine coins and pick up one or two when they are cheap....
@Mat Excellent coin. Happy birthday, friend.
@randygeki lol they are always welcome
@eparch I have seen the book on Amazon but I have not bought it or read it yet. I just ordered some books that might help me out here. When I...
Merry Christmas @Aethelred and all of my friends on here. It is a joy to know and speak to you all regularly throughout the year.
@Monte Venier: Thank you for providing further insight into the area with your experience. It is fascinating. I actually am a big fan of US...
Yes, Constantinople is personified by “Constantinopoli” on the inverse of your coin. It was a dual celebration of Rome and the founding of...
Those are great coins to finish out the year, @Mat! If there was bronze disease on the Hadrian, I don't see any remains. Nice work!

That’s a real winner there @Mat! That is a steal at $40. I don’t think it looks so bad at all. I can kind of see the black stuff in the devices...
