Is this just referring to coins of Nero being countermarked at Perinthus, or does it include "GALBA" countermarked types from other (earlier)...
I really have to wonder if any defaced coins were done officially as part of a damnatio memoriae. If you're going to go to all the trouble of...
Yes, but it doesn't seem to be about him specifically... On his first "Consecratio" coins for Divus Constantius, Constantine stuck with the...
I've seen anywhere from 4 to 7 back (or front) legs depicted on these. Here's a poor effort from Antioch with only 4 (vs expected 8) rear legs,...
Yes of course - traditions evolve. As you note, Constantine was the last to be deified, so anyways these coin type were really a one-off...
Yes, but although Eusebius mentions the quadriga/manus-dei type (therefore putting an implicit Christian stamp of approval on it), these are...
I just received this COMES AVGG ant for Maximianus (RIC V.2 353), featuring Minerva. It's a type I've wanted for a long time - just waiting for...
Man, I should never have mentioned that! :D
It seems unusually quiet here today, and it may be Google's fault ... Normally we get notified by e-mail when there's a reply to a thread we've...
I've tried contacting Sig. Garraffo on academia.edu about the inventory catalog, but no response so far. The lastest update seems to be his 2016...
Thanks, Victor. At this point, 40 years after discovery, it doesn't seem they are very keen to publish it. I wonder if the hoard itself is still...
ignore
Thanks ... Unfortunately I can't access it either, at least at the moment. It says server not found. Google doesn't appear to know about it...
I didn't realize things like "Pius", "Felix" and "Augustus" were real conferred titles! Was that always the case in the later empire too ?
Is the 83,000 coins just a breakdown by mint, or has a detailed listing of individual coins/types been published yet?
How about a Parzonium, held here (inverted in scabbard) by Virtus. It seems these were more ceremonial than fighting weapons, but hey - it's still...
I hadn't noticed the curved right depiction of your central Moneta's cornucopia. I've got to wonder if your central Moneta might be standing...
Per the rules of the game: C T B S ! :D [ATTACH] Different officina though.
I doubt there's too many of these out there ... This is RIC VI Rome 354 for Constantine I, a victory type issued in 312-313 AD after his victory...
Well, they must have made a few. The BnF has a very poor one, and another Moneta Avgg with different obverse....
