Two of Septimius Severus Rome mint. ADVENTVI AVG FELISSIMO [ATTACH] ADVENT AVGG [ATTACH]
It does not change the order but I see you redated #3 from the Tye catalog where it is called Khudarayaka (not a name but a title) and dated...
To me, the interesting part of Parthian is the progression (or regression) of style from the early rather Greek looking coins to the later almost...
I had not seen that pose for Victory but fail to see why anyone who did not already have several hundred Eastern denarii would think of going...
I must admit amazement that there are 2541 Etruscan coins let alone a market for a $350 book about them. Before this thread, I could name two...
I'm amazed we come as close as we do considering not having the slightest idea what some of the coins are. In my case it was coin #1 which is in a...
Zumbly demonstrates what I have suspected before. If I were to ask someone here to spend my money and select my coins, Z would be my first...
Carisius coins are so often terrible that yours strikes me as not all that bad. Considering most we see are the common fake, I'd tend to rate...
Providentia also comes on an antoninianus but mine has a die clash that makes it harder to see. I like the devilish expression on the denarius...

Who else use the type. Below is MARS PACATOR of Septimius Severus. [ATTACH]

In my day, I heard PS was thought to mean Pustulatum or purified silver....
One is not outdated just because one lived long ago. Some of us seem to be over the hill before we walk upright. There is still value in history...
I do not encourage breaking the coin out of the slab. It is a nicer than average coin and was fairly graded by NGC. I would love to have the...
I believe the process of surface enrichment is considerably over stated. It does no good on good silver. I would not expect the layer to be...
A very worthy group. I don't know enough about the late Roman silver to pick one but the Aurelius #10 has a very nice portrait style.
Zumbly's wonderful post on 2015 favorites under $100 inspired this variation of that theme. My $100 idea was from 15 years ago when you could get...
You could have lifted a pig from a Republican denarius and got this thread favorited. :angelic:
