A nice example of a fairly scarce type! I believe when it was first listed I was able to reverse die match it with another coin having a BY mint...
The woman on the reverse has been attributed as Cybele or Tyche, depending on the reference cited. Both deities wear mural crowns, so it is...
Thanks Eric!
I'm still very envious of that Vespasian!
Nice OP 'scoop' coin! I must confess this an area I know little about. What is the latest coin with a scoop?
The Flavians striking quinarii with traditional reverse types perfectly illustrates just how antiquarian the Rome mint was under them. Even the...
Clio must've taken a holiday. ;) Congrats on your win!

A nice bargain!
A fantastic coin with an excellent write-up that explains to us non-Trajan specialist why this coin is, well, special. Congrats!
A book that rigorously defends the traditional view - The Fall of Rome by Bryan Ward-Perkins. The picture of economic collapse he paints is vivid...
Excellent coin at a very good price! FWIW, here is the BMCRE's description of the type: 'Annona, draped, seated l. on throne, adorned with...
I've been there before. Unfortunately, I bit the bullet because I wanted the coin very badly and paid the extra fees, which isn't the advice I...
