Tonight I'm doing some online searching for info about the Roman Victoriatus. I've got these two delivered yesterday. The 2 I have are in two...
I agree, these too are equally as interesting, and a bit less common than the Viminacium colony coinage. I have 2 rough ones: [IMG] Philip the...
Here's a similar Caracalla I got at my local antique store: [ATTACH]
It's still very nice for what it is. Thanks for sharing!
Like this reverse of a Gordian III, EΔECCEΩN: [IMG] https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=5810263
Good call with Maximinus! And Edessa might be spelled like this: EΔECCEIΩN or EΔECCEΩN
Sagalassos in Pasidia has CCE in it's Greek spelling: CAΓΑΛACCEΩN. Could the reverse legend start at 2 o'clock and end more towards the CCE at 10-12?
IOV is the "first name" of Philip II, sometimes like this in Greek AVT K M IOV ΦΙΛΙΠΠOC but that first AVT K can just as often be AV K too. The...

I'd love to see that AE20 Vim GIII! That Roman colony issued sestertius sized coinage, medium sized dupondius-style coinage with radiate (like RCs...
Yep, the sulphur released from the steaming yolk tones the silver.
I really like these Viminacium coins, especially the chunky feeling of the big ones in hand. Congrats on getting a nice big one, @hotwheelsearl!...
Very nice Salus & snake on your reverse!
[IMG] Campania, Cales, AE21 Struck 265-240 BC Obverse: CALENO, laureate head of Apollo left; behind, cock standing right. Reverse: Man-headed...
I agree with @ancient coin hunter in the Gallic emperor list. To me the bust looks very much like Carausius, and less like Postumus and...
I find his coinage (and other emperors of the era) of Viminacium interesting... We've seen the more commonly seen sestertius equivalent already...
Here is Venus: [IMG] Gordian III, Ruled 238-244 AD AR Denarius, Struck 241 AD, Rome Mint Obverse: IMP GORDIANVS PIVS FEL AVG, laureate, draped and...
As @Pavlos mentioned, on the home page they linked to an offprint article (The ‘Galatian Shield without "Σ" Series of Ptolemaic Bronze Coins)...
