Wow, that's a museum tier list. For me, the stone of Elagab wins. It's a coin of such high and specific historical import and fully corroborates...
The Nemausus for me! I love when the patina actually "suits" the crocodile!
That Crispina is very fascinating. The reverse strikes me as a design that not very typical of Imperial Coinage. It is very geometric in nature...
I'm usually prone to a Roman Imperial bias but that Euthydemos I is absolutely insane. So incredibly lifelike.
For me, it's the Domitian. His coins often have a lot of circulation wear and you've got some great details on Minerva!
I really love Trajan's coins that reference historical projects, therefore your ALIM ITAL coin gets my vote. I recently ordered a VIA TRAIANA coin...
That is awful news. I wish you the best in overcoming this! May you imitate Diocletian in his recovery and subsequent ability to celebrate his...
One theory for the switch from clean shaven cropped hair Jesus to the longer haired version, is that this was associated with the highest divinity...
I think part of it as well is the tendency for confusion. Caracalla and Elagabalus proper names are "Antoninus" and they are called such in...

Philip I "The Arab" coins have the best style to cost ratio. Roman Imperial coinage is significantly more boring after 363. Auctions haven't...
Rome Total war 1 and 2 are both excellent. Age of Empires 2 has factions from many eras, many of which are from the fifth century Roman Theatre...
It has not been explicitly stated in this thread (I don't think), but it's worth pointing out that the original Greek of Matthew states that the...
[IMG] Domitian! Nerva next!
Great coins everyone! Faustina's are some of my favourites. There is a certain nobility combined with glamour that reflects her character. [IMG]...
Oh no! I placed a few Byzantine Follis on eBay the other day. I did attribute them though. :)
I, for one, would be very interested.
Perhaps even a thread in the ancients section would suffice?
I'd say it's historically interesting because that activity resulted in the first biological offspring to inherit the purple in the Nerva-Antonine...
This one really got me. It is preposterously bad, I think Maximinus II must've requested it. This one is like a villain from a medieval...
