C. I'm as generalist as they come. The proverbial "jack of all trades and master of none".
No fair!!! Everyone must immediately stop posting bronze drachms UNTIL I HAVE ACQUIRED ONE! :arghh:
Though this Antoninus Pius of course predates Diocletian by quite a bit, I think this reverse is GENIVS POP ROMANI? [IMG]
Oh, I want one of that type! Can't afford one, though.
Well, I had this first one on my clipboard already, as it happens. I like capricorns, as I just mentioned in another thread. [IMG] I liked the...
I like that type in the OP. :) [IMG] I like capricorn designs in general (that's my astrological sign). [IMG]
That's better than having them scan our money and deduct our retinas, I suppose. :jimlad:
Oh, yes! I forgot. Sicily, Akragas: silver hemidrachm, ca. 410-406 BC Obverse- eagle right, clutching dead hare in its talons, barley grain...

Then again, I could imagine I see Trajan Decius there, too...
Pareidolia just kicked in, and I realized that the coins on the cover of that book make a smiley face. I wonder if FSR intended that. I wouldn't...

While this is not exclusively about ancient coins, I was really absorbed in it when my father gave me a copy. The photos showed all kinds of...
That's an excellent question. For me, in a very general sense, a thousand years works. However, some items like Anglo-Saxon English coins can be...
FWIW, I remembered Nepotian being rare, but had forgotten just how rare. I'm glad the OP steered clear.
Yes, I should have added that I'm not really qualified to determine whether or not that coin is authentic or fake, though I stand by the rest of...
For what it's worth, that one looks OK to me- doesn't appear to be an obvious fake, at any rate- [and that's where I'd be proven wrong, yet again]...
