Thanks Andrew. This is one of the best portraits of Titus I've come across - flamboyant and decadent, what more could you ask for? To be honest,...
I've had the Leu catalogue for a few days and haven't had a chance to look through it. Hershey on the other hand has found a use for it....
I was hoping to see more Thracian examples for comparison sake. Someone speculated on Forvm that the mint could either be Serdica or Ratiaria. I'm...
We all have our demons we have to contend with. I paid reasonable retail for it, so I'm satisfied.
A week or so ago I lamented the fact the a rare Tharacian dupondius of Titus was up for auction, but sadly was smoothed and possibly tooled. I had...

Yet another reason I prefer envelopes over flips or 2x2s. I try to add as much valuable attribution info and notes to my envelopes as possible...
I hadn't realised that. You have to remedy it ASAP!
Superb rarity Jay! Congrats! This isn't quite what you requested, but I really like this mule with an obverse of Titus and a reverse struck for...
Glad to hear it arrived safe and sound! The inclusion of the lituus lends credence to these types being pulvinaria commemorating a religious...
Women are always attracted to the bad boys. :angelic:
Here is a Titus Caesar denarius I've had for over 15 years and haven't cleaned. Original photo: [ATTACH] It's a bit darker now, which I...
