I collect Imperial on a budget from Vespasian to Julian II. These are my higher budget goals for this year. I would probably try and limit my...
I'll only buy a slabbed copy!
The Gallus is very cool. I have a Saeculum Novum of Philip I but of course it's the hexastyle temple! Another thing to add to the Campgate, is...
I want to dramatically lower the amount of purchases and dramatically increase the quality. My biggest spend on a single coin thus far has been...
The baldness of Domitian is something that has always intrigued me. Although he was apparently upset about it, some coins do clearly depict his...
I'll go for the Crispus. 13 dollars seems exceptionally cheap for a reverse I didn't know existed. :happy:
The detail on the diadem is quite something too! I am wondering, how delicate is "silvering". I only have coins with pockets of it. Do you have to...
That Antigonos is ridiculous. The strong and detailed portrait takes up so much of an already large flan and the coin has so much "pop" and...
My collection starts as Nerva so I don't have any Julio-Claudian's to offer. I appreciate your attempt at the family tree. It's quite funny how...
I never noticed the first one due to the toning. The "toned silvering" is quite beautiful. I don't think I've ever seen it before.
I'll go for Trajan's column. Looking for my own example right now. Anything related to history (especially if it's still standing!) is very high...
It's the Domna denarius for me. In Septimius reign, Domna usually gets a portrait independent of her husband, unlike some of her predecessors such...
Those jewellery pieces are incredible. Ancient rich people really knew how to show off!
Is one of those Eyes to Heaven busts completely silvered? That's remarkable. As for the OP. I don't have any doubles, I scarcely have two of any...
[IMG] A dull Domitian with a very lifelike portrait. It was my first ever purchase on ma-shops!
It's the Vetranio for me. I love the historical implications of the reverse legend.
It is much like anything in life. The longer and more difficult the chase, the more euphoric the catch! I believe they wanted to emphasise his...
There's also the theory that it really was that bad! Due to it being so bad, Lactantius furthered the idea in his work that the persecution must...
That Claudius reminds me of the portraits and legends on the Aurelian/Vabalathus issues. Is there any connection?
Fascinating collection. Hopefully I manage to settle on a particular niche rather than bouncing around like a maniac. You must be the premier...
