ROME A few of my nicer Rome examples. [IMG] Moneyer issues of Imperatorial Rome L. Mussidius Longus, 42 BCE AR denarius, Rome mint. Obv:...
Apparently I do have one little Rhodes. It was from the Stacks mixed lot. When going through the large lot, the count was short by one. Quite a...
Well, Rhodes is an island off Caria but it seems we don't know the city names or specific mints, although the major city may have also been named...
:oops::oops::oops: I forgot the obvious! I hope everyone limits their Rome posts to a few favorites.
No Qs for me. Don't think I have any Rs either, although I wish I had a nice Rhegium.
Those are some truly odd coins, Steve-O! I want one of those conjoined owls (had to correct my typo; muscle memory kicked in after typing the c...
IOM eloquently addressed the "erotic" issue. As for "occult", to people who believe in one of the modern religions, I'd guess that most ancient...

Hah. I think there is at least one that is worse than yours, Doug. :D As for identifying dies, I'll need to have large images. I'll work on it....
More information which could help with guessing a reason for the overstrike: The proconsul, Asinius Pollio, was the half brother of Drusus Jr...
Thanks to an assist by @AncientJoe I have six more coins for the extant specimen list! That brings the count up to at least 24-28. [ATTACH]
