I guess it's OK to move on to Septimius Severus now. [IMG] [IMG]
So with Pescennius Niger played, next on the list is ... Clodius Albinus. [IMG] ... and after him, Septimius Severus. But don't go jumping...
Maybe she had go go play pachinko!
BOOM! Now that's what I'm talking about!
I'm a "whatever grabs me" or "I know what i like when I see it" kind of collector these days. ("Magpie collector" is my private term for it.) As...
It is indeed a fun area to collect in. Historical and budget-friendly. Hope you'll stick around if this coin lit a spark of interest in you....
Welcome, @Nik23. I don't do much with late Roman bronze so I'll sit back and let the others tell you more. It does appear authentic to me,...
For some idea of how truly tiny an Indian gold fanam is, you can see the coin I posted above in its PCGS slab at the far right of the photo below....

OUT OF SEQUENCE NOTICE - LordM catchup, part 2... Aelius [IMG] Antoninus Pius [IMG] Faustina Senior [IMG] Marcus Aurelius [IMG] Faustina...
I've been away from this thread (which is probably for the best, considering my OCD cat-herding tendencies), and so I have not posted since Nero,...
This seems a fine opportunity to switch the theme to sword-wielding lions, or animals wielding human weaponry in general. I think on some...

Cupid is a character in Marlowe's Dido, Queen of Carthage. (Thank you, Wikipedia.) Cupid = Eros. Thus: [IMG] (Ex-@Ken Dorney.) So now, an...
I think 10K refers to the gold content in that, and as mentioned, the coin is an Indian fanam.
