It's all in the eye of the beholder. That coin is a direct link to a storied emperor and a very tumultuous time in Byzantine history. I...
This is a very engaging thread - thanks to all who posted coins and took part in the conversation. I'm curious: how often do you find tooling...
That is indeed fetching. If it were for sale I might be debating whether I could skip a mortgage payment. The bank wouldn't miss one little...
A "nice" Nabataean silver is going to set you back at least five Franklins. And it ain't gonna be that nice - just fair warning. Nothing Nabataean...
I recently read an article in NC Volume 150: "The Early Nineteenth-Century Jackson Collection of Coins from Carthage" by Bateson/Campbell/Visona....
Here’s another addition to my set of crude Nabataean obscurities: a lead tessera of the debatable-bust/Nike type, 14mm, 2.3 g. The seller claims...
Heh - fancy ways to say I'm a newbie!
Joe, I don't know whether to laugh or cry when I see your coins, lol. Absolutely stunning! Thank you for posting that coin.
It's a fabulous piece all around! Congratulations. Old issues of the Celator are tough to come by, but a couple members on this forum might have...

That's a handsome set, Doug. The second and fourth have fabulous portraits.

Hey brother Race - I took the summer off. Comeback thread here... http://www.cointalk.com/threads/hey-friends-im-back.235418/ Good to see...
I haven't been to Teano, but I love the look of the old Roman Theater. Perhaps your coin circulated there - it was built in the 2nd century BC....
I should probably refrain from making the obvious jokes on a family-friendly forum. Beautiful coin!
That really is uncharacteristic of you Jerry. You've gone medieval on us! Like others, I can't really say much other than admiring the piece. Nice...
I'll do that! Gotta lot of catching up to do.
Great VK! Another Ostrogoth. In a sense they were right. Rome was indeed unconquerable if you consider the effect Roman culture had on Western...
Thanks Jerry - I know how to do that. Just being lazy. :p
