Perhaps we should mention that the IVLA misspelling also is found from Emesa and that more than one die was made with the error. These exist but...
I guess following Roman Collector's link to the old discussion frees us from the need to do it all again here but.... Don't jump line. I have...
Don't forget Titus. [ATTACH]
I am shocked that Ides would post coins on Craigslist. The small number of people who could tell a $10 denarius from a $1000 one would suggest it...
I have encountered many snakes over the years but am still waiting for one with a human head to slither by. Antoninus Pius Alexandria drachm LIZ...
Haggling would probably be a waste of time. Let the owner sell them to a dealer and see how close to his $200 he is offered. $70? For that, the...
How do you know Romans didn't have machine guns? Seriously, don't give away the ending. We are in Indiana and have not seen a TV since last...

The Pilate related coin above is dated LIS under the prow at the end of the obverse right legend. It shows better on off center coins. The...
In this weight class, two of my favorites are this 7.07g nomos of Sybaris [ATTACH] and this 6.8g didrachm of Velia. [ATTACH] The two are...

Those who have tried to get one of each mint and those who appreciate why coins of Constantius II from this mint are less common will appreciate...
Might? Today, in many fields, we deal not only with the ravages of time but the damage done by scholars intent on restoration. My first exposure...
Those from Indiana do not talk 'funny'. The rest of the world? That is quite another matter! I am not a radical in this regard. My 104 year...
