I like #7 which does not always have such nice clear legends.
OK, how about this one? [ATTACH]
These coins show a horse in the process of rolling onto the ground. IMHO the good ones are the ones which record an accurate split second in the...
Super winner. That coin has surfaces that we wish for many Alexandrian coins but see on so few.
Your question is way over my head. In your last coin, I do not see a thunderbolt but two branches crossed over the altar with the lower parts...

That is a very nice ant!
Coded ants of Probus, Diocletian and Maximanus are relatively easy to pick up unidentified because so many dealers seem to ignore such things and...
My favorite has to be the Caracalla but of the siliquae, the Justinian has an appeal I can not explain.
The Maximinus II version is more scarce but the bad billon makes many ugly like mine. The horses are just standing there and I really prefer the...
