I'm probably having more trouble with the concept that a faculty member with no numismatic background will be teaching the graduate level course....
Valentinian is a name that you can usually assign to a number by the reverse. The majority of late Romans can be narrowed down a lot if you use...
I see arms and dirt but no cross. Where is the one in the field?
I suspect this translates into the university will have the coins slabbed.
I'd need a better photo to see anything. I do note an error on Bruck page41 giving this to Aelia Pulcheria (or am I missing something?).
It seems that most available are from Spain and have sand patinas. Where are the ones from British finds with better surfaces?
MM was not a long reigning ruler and not an inconsequential nobody prince. He was the kind of guy that belongs in every general collection. His...
I trust all saw the first of these on another CT thread today: https://www.cointalk.com/threads/f-h-outside-const-dynasty.260685/
If only we could get kickbacks from all the things we have caused each other to buy, we would all be able to buy nicer coins. Who here has not...
Beyond amazing!
Bingo! Bruck comes through! On page 55 he lists all the mints for Julian on FH coins. Only Cyzicus splits the obverse IVLI ANVS. I had been...

The question is whether you want coins or the experience. To take the numbers above, would you prefer to buy 50 uncleaned coins or spend the same...
I agree with the fun thread part but I do collect late Roman and would not ever be able to get one per illustration. So far we have only covered...
#50 Constantine I [ATTACH] Most of the ships came out when they were listed under animals. #45 Constantius II has a Victory instead of a...
TCON = Arles
RIC 69c is Arcadius but how you can read the letter before the IVS on the OP coin as a D is beyond me. RIC 69e is the Honorius. Their specimen...
It reads Honorius and was issued at Antioch by Theodosius, Arcadius and Honorius. RIC dates it to 393-395 AD. Many of the coins of this period...
I'd agree it may be best of type. That sure is a scrawny necked portrait for a ruler history records as so strong. Mine is a different mint and...
I do not know what it is but there must be some explanation for the extreme silvering on this particular issue. They exist in the market well...
Separate names with a comma.
