:wideyed: wow!! Fantastic scores!
Wonderful catch, Steve-O! We'd never known it wasn't in your top-tier choices for that auction if you hadn't said so :) Okay :D [IMG]...
I agree with @Alegandron... your loss :D Here's an assortment of small coins, 5 mm to 11 mm: [ATTACH] The Selinos litra, for example is one of...
Continuing the Puddles parade, how about this not-so-inventive yet awesome interpretation of Royals? :) [MEDIA] [IMG] PTOLEMIC KINGS OF EGYPT....
Thank goodness you didn't realize it :D If you're not already on his list, send a PM to John Anthony.
That's what I think too :)
Last night I stayed up far past my bedtime listening to and watching some utterly fascinating music. Maybe many of you are already clued into...
I have to agree with John's assertion about this coin :D. When he posted it I knew it would be mine and was prepared to go Clio on it (sorry,...

It looks Roman Provincial. The reverse might spell the city name but could instead/also spell a magistrate's name. The obverse portrait might be...
I may be wrong, but I think it means "in the time of" or "around the time of", from Latin tempore. Edited to add that I googled it and this is...
I'm curious too. Is it humor? Is Nathan the guy from whom you bought the coin? :) ... EDITED: Ohhh... I bet Sallent or the seller was the...
Hmm. I believe I should seek out a couple of those barbaric imitations :)
I agree with Doug: definitely not Caracalla or earlier (based on portrait, metal, flan, general appearance). The portrait could fit with...
