That's a handsome coin, Pishpash. For some reason, most Roman provincials didn't survive the sands of time without acquiring rough surfaces. But...
Beautiful coins, Martin. These votive and campgate types are under-appreciated, perhaps because they don't have the most exciting reverse designs?...
That diobol is lovely! Nice find.
Ok, well, this coin has been sitting on Gitbud-Naumann's shelf for some time, and it was discounted, so here is the final addition to the set....
Thanks Al! I was wondering why there was a double attribution on Wildwinds.
Thanks guys - I'm not sure the coin is quite that green. I think the seller saturates his images, but that's ok.
Yes mam! There are some nice examples on vcoins, but I'll wait to see if I can get one cheap at auction.
I just won this left-facing Apollo, left-facing horseman. Those who follow these coins will know that this is the rarest variety. I only see a...
It's not just you. I noticed the same thing. Perhaps it's the only year they were minted? Or perhaps other years are rare...
These prutoh arrived today, and I'm quite pleased with them. (Any day the mailman delivers four coins is a good day.) I've started photographing...
My guess on the pendant is Al-'Uzza, the Nabataean appropriation of Aphrodite. You won't match any depictions of Nabataean gods in statuary or...
Inasmuch as the Nabataeans appropriated Greek designs into their coinage, yes. But the Nabataean eagle is more closely modeled after the eagle on...
No, just a regular issue minute bronze, same denomination as the bust/cornucopias and bust/wreath types. As far as I know, the only commemoratives...
The names of the king and queen appear on the right side of the obverse and reverse and the legends are read counter-clockwise. Unfortunately, on...
You're welcome. The eagle was an important symbol to the Nabataeans, although its meaning is lost. There is one bit of archaeological evidence...
Yes, Aretas IV. Nice coin! The eagle-right variety is scarce. I have two of the eagle-left coins... [ATTACH] Welcome to the forum, friend.
It's a wonderful cleaning job! I might suggest that we remember that some of the posters on this forum are quite young and inexperienced. It's...
The king's bust is clearly Aretas IV. Here is one from my collection, Rabbel II. This coin has much more legend on it than typical, for any...
Yes, it's Constantius Gallus. I don't see a die break. Where do you mean?
I'm going to guess that coin is Seleucid. The palm tree is definitely Tyrian, and the Seleucids had a mint in Tyre. Also, I think I can read...
