The coin needs careful cleaning. At the top of the reverse, my imagination wants to read ALBINVS. Is this overstruck on Balbinus?
The Roman looks like Trajan Decius but I can not make sense of the legend. My coin with the IMP CAE TRA DECIVS AVG legend is overstruck on a Geta...
RIC VI pages 452-454 refer to these as coins of Divus Galerius. What I can't explain is why the catalog listings for Group III at the bottom of...
Please show an online reference showing GAL VAL applied to Marcus Aurelius Maximianus.
I fail to see why they would use GAL VAL on a coin honoring Maximianus. Galerius was deified? That I had missed.
It is hard to pick a favorite of the many Probus portraits but this has to be one of the leaders in my opinion. I got mine in 1997 from CNG 43....
This is an interesting question. If there has not been a die study, does anyone have an educated guess on how many dies there were for each of...
I have to wonder how many people reading this in the US think Limes is a Detroit fan and how many people in the Netherlands understand why I might...

There are posthumus coins of Claudius DIVO CLAVDIO GOTHICO but I agree on the others. [ATTACH]
Interesting! The reason you doubt that theory is the reason I see it as likely. By Roman standards, the boy was strange. We are more tolerant...
Hardly ancient but I like the simplicity of the horse drawn with minimal lines on this 3.5g AE jital from Sind of Nasir al-din Qarlugh, 1249-1259...
Alwin's post reminded me of Velia staters with their assortment of lions. Eating meat on ground [ATTACH] hunting [ATTACH] another but this is...
These were issued by several mints. We saw Thessalonika and Rome above so here is Siscia. Constantine I issued the type in honor of three...
It is getting hard to find one someone has not posted before but my favorite lions are still available. Aurelian - I have no idea what the meaning...
I believe this coin will improve with cleaning. At least it might be easier to read the legends. As I see it, cleaning can remove what is on top...
