WOW! Love that eagle!
Do you have the size of that coin, at widest point?
Yes - quite scarce. What's interesting abut this star-over-altar issue is that we see Daia both as caesar (GENIO CAESARIS) and as augustus (GENIO...
It's interesting, and confusing, how the term "caesar" was used in the later empire... More title than name, but certainly not a rank since it was...
There's an interesting Twitter thread here, from Gareth Harney, about the discovery of the sarcophagus of Honorius's wife Maria under the original...
Constantine I was using "caesar" as late as 313 AD on his bronze coinage. Here's my RIC VII Arles 9. IMP(ERATOR) C(AESAR) CONSTANTINVS P(IVS)...

That's an interesting question! Judging by the profusion of London-only types, it appears that the London mint was taking the lead at the time...
It does exist from London with PROPVGNATORI for Constantine as augustus, but it's at best transitional, or maybe a mule (after the reverse die...
Yes, but that's only an option some of the time. It seems to be quite common for collectors to be open to trades, but not to selling. It makes...
Yes, but that quadruple-coincidence makes it sound a bit more unlikely than it probably is, especially since only one side of the trade is likely...
I've only done a very small number of trades, but I think they're a good idea in general. I'll like the idea even better once a current...
Separate names with a comma.
