The myth that will forever consume the thoughts of humanity: afterlife. Constantine ascends to heaven in a quadriga as God stretches out his hand...
You misspelled beer.
Very nice detail for a "cheap" Greek bronze.
You don't need to apologize for talking about ancient coins on an ancient coin forum. We do it all the time. :)
I named my kids Verdigris and Lamination.
Yeah, I think I'll do that, John. It's just plain tedious to walk around the bourse and say, "Got any ancients? Got any ancients? Got any...
I like limes denarii and fourees as well. I have this Hadrian fouree on order at the moment, so this is the dealer's pic. The interesting thing is...

By way of comparison, here's a denarius of S. Alexander that I won off eBay for $35 shipped. Nice, even strike, well-centered, and fairly smooth...
It would appear I'm a little older than you. I was in college in the 80's, and far too busy chasing tail to write any books. :p
To my limited experience, the Vespasian looks OK. The hemidrachm looks very fishy. I don't own one of the types, but if I wanted one, I would get...
I don't like the surfaces on the Caracalla at all. That coin was very crusted over at some point and it had to be harshly cleaned. That's not the...
I'm not sure I follow you. Are you referring to me or the guy who scratched the coin? If you're referring to me, I'm not the John Anthony that...
Super coin! I don't know much about these, but I'm assuming BO-IΩ refers to Boeotia, and I know other varieties of the coin have letters that...
Great display, Bing!
