I'm a novice with Byzantine, but didn't Justin II reign for only 13 years? Unless the regnal years on his coins don't begin with his first year,...
The line drawing of the Paris medallion has a lot of noise which is probably artifactual. Painting over that noise gives a cleaner drawing:...
Typical toddler, yanking on mom's clothing begging for attention. I can hear the whining from here :D. My various Venuses: Venus Genetrix,...
I'm working on fine-tuning the technique for these overlays so the opportunity to practice is welcome :).
Thanks, that helped. I believe your medallion shares an obverse die with each of the three medallions shown. It doesn't quite match the line...

Sounds like it was a fun show and your lucky day despite the absence of your favorite dealers. Did he say whether the tiny treasures were all...
Looks like a Vandals or Vandals-era issue to me but I know almost nothing about them. The reverse looks like it has letters, or things which are...
I agree with @zumbly on all counts. The bare head and boyish portrait says young Caesar and the portrait's profile is that of only a handful of...
:eek: I haven't set up my account yet but was planning on doing so soon. This give me pause! I had assumed I'd have to do that part manually...
Have you considered using Transferwise?
The fabric and style have a very Alexandrian look. I hadn't seen the type before. Cool coin :).
I think so-- that's the one I pegged as a possible match although it could be Justinian I. Please bear in mind that I am extremely weak on...
