Those who are seeking coins of they types shown in this thread are reminded to be on the lookout for examples from the other cities under the...
I only have one Nero sestertius but that is not for lack of desire. His sestertii are four times as expensive as his asses which, actually, seems...
Probably Diadumenian from Anitoch like the one below. [ATTACH]
Considering the track record of all Emperors, no one had more to 'hope' for than he did. Did the type mean, "I hope my brother/son/friend/general...
Is there evidence that there was a fixed exchange between the metals rather than a market that traded on an ever changing basis? Coins were not...
