Even as a Constantine collector, I also voted for #7, the confronted Licinii. Just a great example of a rare coin. The #9 SPES PVBLIC would be a...
You're more patient than I would be. How hard is it for Agora to either: 1) Ship the coin out, immediately, with tracking, if they still have it...
I love those lions - very medieval looking !
Not much to look at, but this is one of my favorites from 2021, and fits the bill for a good buy. It cost $71.67 from the usual pit of despair....
It's amazing that we can buy ~2000 year old coins for under $25. Don't tell anyone! Here's a few of mine this year that came under that price:...
Magnentius evidentially took pains to portray himself differently from the the diadem wearing Constantinian clan, preferring to project a more...
Perhaps, although Constantius II (or his coin peeps) kept the alpha+omega on his "revolt of Poemicus" version of the type, so maybe the subtlety...
This is my favorite phoenix, on a Cyzicus Fel Temp. This is only an 18x16mm coin, so quite a nice job given the space. The eastern mints depict...
Awesome work - very nice!
It's hard to imagine that these early epidemics would not have had tremendous societal impact. Not just in the huge percentages of the population...

Seems reasonable. ;) I didn't mean to dismiss the accomplishment of having managed to rule for so long, when so many had failed to do that, but...
RIC's classification of diadem types is rather unsatisfactory. RIC only recognizes three varieties of diadem: "plain", "rosette" and "pearl",...
I'm not so sure! It seems that Constantine's real claim to fame is in being the first Christian emperor, or more specifically the first to...
Exactly! I was going to point out the same thing! It's really a classic mistake for a seller ... if you don't know what it's worth, then don't...
I've been the beneficiary of a few of those too! Sometimes on eBay it's also just pure luck... even with a proper description, decent photo,...
It looks fine to me... eBay is an extraordinarily inefficient market. From time to time things just do fly under the radar due to poor...
Nice coin, and great purchase! I have the other "POP ROMANVS" type, RIC VII Constantinople 22. [ATTACH] It's been suggested these POP ROMANVS...
