I need to be shown evidence of this meaning of Libertas. Are you confusing it with Liberalitas which is used at times of public donatives?
Beautiful. What determined the order or placement of the coins within the display? It is unusual to see the posthumous coin placed first. No...
Since you named many of our group who have any coins that modern, you might have done as well here starting on the other end but telling a 501BC...
There are two good questions here. 95% of all Alexandrian coins are 2nd or 3rd century (Trajan through Tetrarchy) and there are more tetradrachms...
Perhaps it is not too far off to show this dupondius of Hadrian with SALVS PVBLICA. [ATTACH]
I'm not sure that is so many. Just counting those of us here on Coin Talk who collect the series, 500 could be absorbed if only we had the free...
Commodus denarii of this period are often found with really poor workmanship. I see no reason to think it is fourree or fake.
Valerian was in TRP VIII when captured in 260. I read your coin as PM TRP III COS III PP. COS IIII came in 257 with TRP V so any TRP V or higher...

Sort of, maybe.... Consulships started on January 1 but many emperors had been consul before they became emperor so we see COS in that first...
I have always enjoyed this Constantine from Rome RIC 196 page 376 which comes with a question that bothers me. RIC lists this coin as from early...
$40 in 1989 - I'm not sure how you allow for 28 years or, for that matter, the relative deficiency from chips and scratches vs. centering or...
Domitian AE obol Alexandria Griffin LS (on obverse under chin - the common one) [ATTACH]
The one I got from the last CNG mail sale (lot 465) described as "dark gray-brown surfaces" struck me as pretty obviously smoothed and retoned....
Since we mention these, we should show them. Constantine as FIL AVG from Heraclea [ATTACH] Maximinus II as FIL AVGG from Thesalonika [ATTACH]...
Mine is like Mat's except the KA is before rather than after the officina letter. [ATTACH] Someone, not I, should show a coin of the other...
I should have known! A very little research shows Septimius at Rome comes in several variations. They also come in Provincials like this one...
