Interesting discussion about what is and isn't a late Roman bronze. I hadn't given it much thought and vaguely assumed it meant anything from...
Nope, Marcianopolis :) The reverse is a snake entwined on a tripod. Not sure who's on the obverse. Geta and Elagabalus issued the type (per a...
It's nice to know the name for them! Thanks :)
I'm stretched thin and too stressed out to enter but I'll enjoy cheering on the competitors!
What a specific niche! Not just bricks... Roman bricks. Not just Roman bricks, Roman bricks with animal foot prints :D.
@ancient coin hunter, I completely ignored the obverse when citing your Milne number. I often shortchange the obverses because the Alexandrian...

Nicely done, @Curtisimo :) I have none of these thin style coins but here's a Zoroastrian fire altar. [IMG] KINGDOM OF PERSIS, Vadfradad...
Oh wow that is fantastic!! Elagabalus confronted with his puppeteer grandmother? Superduper awesome and I'm nine shades of green :D. Here's a...
Don't you just looooove these big drachms? Nice heft, nice flan shape, nice feel, interesting designs. I like that you can read the "16" on your...
Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy :D
Congrats on the find :). Nice centering, big flan, gorgeous toning!
I'm resurrecting @zumbly's old thread because I finally acquired a Three Graces coin and it's a double die match to his coin :) [ATTACH] MOESIA...
I picked up another Priapus recently :) Trebonianus Gallus is one of the last emperors to display this deity and I wasn't aware he issued them--...
The coin you're probably thinking of is this Captain Caveman (and @zumbly has it now). [IMG] ISLANDS off IBERIA, Ebusus AE Quarter Unit. 3.28g,...
How unusual and in such great condition relative to most other bronze Celtic coins! The god's face looks almost simian. Is this "Great God"...
It's like a sculpture! Fantastic :)
:eek::mad: Uhm, yeah... I'm going to have to ask you to collect something else. (read that in the voice of the Office Space boss) :D
A wonderful array! The modern coins' inspirations are very clear, aren't they? Your Geta denarius is particularly appealing.
