Nice! Not a follis, but a half follis from a special (military? emergency?) issue from near Salona - this half follis is only 17mm and the folles...
Lovely collection! I got a bunch in a job lot and the type grew on me... Diocletian [ATTACH] (I had a lovely Maximian but regrettably sold it...
Agreed - better treat that ASAP! As for ID, perhaps Tiberius from Carthago Nova with presumptive heirs? He minted for both Germanicus & Drusus,...
Great thread! Whether a form of military scrip or simply made out of necessity, I have always felt that limes denarii were almost criminally...
I had heard the opposite, that the earliest ones were the larger, more dolphin-shaped ones, and they became more sardine shaped before they added...
Nice! Gallienus is tough to find in good condition, especially from his sole reign. I've probably handled close to a thousand of his coins from...
I remember flipping my lid the first time I found an LRB that was listed as a "R5" mint/field mark combo of a common type. Now I feel completely...
Nice Gadhaiya @Sulla80! I'm actually revising how to classify the curved head types, but yours is a later one - the earliest ones (based entirely...
Thanks all! Great coins and discussion. @medoraman - My understanding is that these countermarked pieces are official imperial drachms on the...
Had one of these in my sights for a good while, but finally pulled the trigger in the last Leu auction. [ATTACH] Host coin: Peroz I AR Drachm...

Another showing the details under and behind the bust [ATTACH] A crisp strike in better silver than typical for the type [ATTACH] Notice the...
After five years of scouring ebay on a weekly basis, plus auction houses on the rare occasion that they are offered, there aren't many types of...
Finally got this page of my Indian album imaged! In the late 5th century as the remnants of the Roman Empire were being wiped from existence by...
Huh, I thought I remembered a faint scream, carried on the wind on that date. Now I know why!

(Continued) The grandchildren of Theodora... Delmatius [ATTACH] Hanniballianus [ATTACH] Constantius Gallus [ATTACH] Julian [ATTACH]...
Excluding the ultra-rare Nepotian and the impossibly rare Constantia, Constantine's family is a cakewalk. My current lineup - this entire...
Yeeeeeesh. Hard to tell from the pic, but those look like $10-30 coins. But then again, these are the same sort of people who bust a kid...
Beautiful example from a series that never seems to get enough love! I have a full binder page from the days when it was possible to get them for...
