Beautiful coin. It would appear that your reverse is a die match to the one pictured at at ric.mom.
I get no results found for either word. Can you link any of the auctions directly? Edit: never mind, I was the one misssppelllling it. :oops:
I got 37, one of my favorite primes. It's this VRBS ROMA with the less common soldiers/standard reverse... [ATTACH]
I only wish I had a real one - I understand they're quite rare and valuable, but I can't find any auction results. What would you search for,...
An extremely rare bronze of the Nabataean king Malichus I. These were minted only for a year or so, to commemorate Malichus' defeat over Herod....
It's a very nice coin, and yes, AE means bronze, AE15 stands for a bronze of 15mm diameter, so listing the diameter separately is redundant. I...
Well, if they are all from Emesa, they all belong to Group III, which RIC dates 194-5, with a question mark. That would put them at the beginning...
Are you certain the first coin is an Emesa emission? RIC 338 is classified as barbarous, with legend BONA SPES. RIC 364 from Emesa has BONA SPES...

Serapis is found abundantly on Egyptian issues, but also appears on coinage throughout the Levant and as far north as the various cities of...
I have the REPARATIO REIPVB type on a coin of Valentinian II, but I don't care for it much - someday I'll buckle down and take this era more...
No, they're not anywhere near as rough as Gallienus, but the superabundance of sharp coins that you find among the Constantines just isn't there....
Nice coin! I have to put this one on my want list - it's the first time I've seen a Vota/Wreath type on a bronze of Maximian. I have a few to...
That's a very nice coin indeed. Gratian comes at the tail end of the Constantinian Dynasty, and minting seems to have taken a turn for the worse,...
No, I discovered them in various bibliographies - a couple of important texts if you're interested in ancient Arabian coinage.
I also picked up Numismatic Chronicle Volume 154, which had an article I wanted by Karl Schmitt-Korte, Nabataean Coinage - Part III: The Nabataean...
She was the first wife of Theodosius I, and mother of Arcadius and Honorius. Wiki has a decent article here.
PM sent. My latest addition is Hoover's Coins of the Southern Levant, in CNG's Greek Handbook Series. I've been eating it up - so many periods...
