Noooooooooooooooooooooo
I know that feeling! Worth every penny though.
I don't know much about Caracalla sestertii specifically, but I do know that large denominations that are well-struck and in such good condition...
I second the motion. I've learned more from Doug's pages than any other online source.
That's an exceptional coin, and an excellent portrait of that wild and crazy guy. One sees so many of the Caracalla denarii as they're so common -...
I don't think I'll ever get tired of seeing that coin, Gil. And yeah, our friends at that shop have a nice bargain bin. :)
This is probably my favorite denarius reverse type, and you've got a great one!

No, I'm sorry. Everybody knows the Mormons were here first. :rolleyes:
I wasn't accusing you of trying to prove anything - just commenting on the article. It left off by saying they found other items at the dig from...
I'm frequently astonished at the presumptions researchers make in the papers I read, and I'm talking about lengthy, erudite treatises - not just...
Btw, how do you "accidentally" buy a coin? Is that like "accidentally" having an affair?
Finding one ancient coin in a particular location doesn't prove anything, in fact. I'm not saying the Chinese couldn't have been trading in East...
All these RRs you've posted recently have made me take a good hard look at the coinage of that period. I'm not ready to go there yet, but I...
