A gap in my collection I've been trying to fill for a while. Herennius Etruscus [ATTACH] AR Antoninianus, AD 250-251. Rome. Obv: Q HER ETR MES...
I had a few successful bids recently at the Coin Cabinet auction in London. This is my first provincial coin, so I wanted to share it. I hadn't...
A couple of family members here, and also a lower weight sestertius (the least expensive sestertius I have, picked up as a low bid that won)....
Nice coin! I have had my eye on a few at auction but never pulled the trigger. This might push me in that direction now.
A great achievement (and with shiny gold as well!). One day I'll add to the three I have and the momentum will start.
Beautiful coins, especially that Fausta.
Looks like Aurelian. Something like this perhaps (not my coin)? Sorry I don't have more specific details if that's what you were after! [ATTACH]
Nice coins, expat! I don't have a coin for either of those empresses. I'll share a coin of Julia Mamaea that looks much nicer in hand and was an...
Thank you! I ordered it and have read a few pages (including the Cassius Longinus voting denarius chapter). It's well researched and accessible,...
Some interesting books there - you had me investigating. Has anyone read the book below (and would you recommend it)? [ATTACH]
Thought I'd add my own voting denarius here. Recently acquired from Artemide Aste. I've been chasing one for a while, but thought it particularly...
Thanks, rrdenarius. I've been admiring your republican coins. I've only recently started with republican denarii, so I don't have any base metal...
I'm quite a ways behind you Victor. Is this your personal collection?
Well caught, David! I'll amend that - and thank you.
Thanks, Victor. I might try that out too and see how I feel about it. Very impressive lot of trays there, too.
Interesting how people differ with their own rules. It depends on the budget for sure, but I would want a lifetime issue. I'd prefer the elephant...
Many thanks for the encouragement folks! I like how it looks, though part of me is thinking about putting a coin in each compartment on top of the...
Happy Friday everyone. I finally got around to ordering some trays and printing off attributions for my growing collection of ancients. I knew my...

Congratulations! A very nice coin. Great to see the DICT PERPETVO nice and clearly there, too - what a piece of history.
