My latest addition is not a rare coin ... however, it is from the common coins you get a good sense of the cares and concerns of the emperor and...
The largest size my bank offers - 9.75"H x 10.13"W x 21.25"D. I have another smaller one for documents.
I knew of the type beforehand, but despaired of ever acquiring one since they rarely show up in trade. The surprise was having an opportunity to...
I've always liked this reverse type and that is certainly a decent example. Congrats!
Your biga of centaurs, although not strictly a triumphal type, is indeed triumphal in nature. Perhaps it's equating Domitian with Hercules? A...
Yes, from the same issue. Nice example!
Every once in a while a coin comes along that really excites me ... this is one such coin! The scene of the living emperor in a quadriga drawn by...
Thank you! I was aiming for coins like this when I set out on the bronze journey last year. Acquiring coin types that were never struck in silver...
I was hoping more CTers had a Tutela. Apparently, it is a much rarer imperial type than I had initially thought! A marble statue of the goddess...
Curtis Clay in my Forvm gallery entry for this coin commented about the 'Morris collection': "Morris's" real name: Philip C. Peck of New York...
A most difficult one to find!
Thank you for posting this coin! I was curious if anyone else had a Tutela. Interesting to see how she was depicted over 200 years later.
2019 has been a great year for me collecting-wise - and this most recent acquisition is a fantastic reason why it has been. When a coin surfaces...
@Curtisimo, a collector that is also a numismatist is a lofty goal that thankfully you have achieved. Hopefully this thread will be full of...
That should be a fun set to put together! Somehow it's not surprising you kick it off with Domitian.
Speaking of which, did your Leu win arrive?
No place is a 100% safe for storage. I could post news articles telling of home 'fire proof' safes being destroyed in fires or of home burglaries...
My mother manages the bank where my box is located ... I think I can trust her. ;)
Nice score! I think the 'rare' frequency rating in RIC is a bit generous. Plus, I don't think much has changed since I wrote that gallery...
I've been researching wreaths all week, so I'm quite tickled to see the second century examples posted here. Superb coins everyone!
