:rolleyes:Sorry, I didn't post clearly:oops::sorry: I meant a 'common man' who was his lover not a common relationship...
Wonderful posts everyone!! I absolutely LOVE the OP!! What an incredible portrait!! It seems to incorporate features of all the Flavians on one...
Incredible example!! A type I'll probably never have... I'm going to have to read the book that David suggested as well. I just can't understand...
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!! May you have TWICE as much to be thankful for this year than last!! [ATTACH]
Terrific example @Carausius !! I have a tolerance for a bit of roughness ...and there's still time to be my 'Secret Santa', isn't there? ;)LOL...
Cool medievals!! But I think that Crispina sestertius is terrific .....and a bargain too!
I think Eduard said it best.:rolleyes: I'd keep it!!
Another super cool reverse OKI !!!! Terrific patina! I bet TIF will love it !
I recently posted my Romulus follis with the Temple/Shrine reverse but it seems suited to the thread: [ATTACH]
Cool coin!!! I'm still stuck on a quinarius or two of the republican era but I have my eye on a few from the Imperial....but it'll have to wait...
Thanks for the clarification @Valentinian!!! It did seem a bit odd that the seller had it listed as struck somewhere other than Bostra, Arabia.
LOL Hey Steve, I placed a big 'Like' on yours already LOL
Definitely a real beauty!!!
That is such a fantastic reverse!! I'd love it even if it wasn't gold;)
Very nice, but I miss the patina:sorry: All I have is a still unphotographed modest denarius:(
Really happy to hear it finally arrived!! It's kind of funny that you posted today since I just received one of two 'camel types' I was after....
Mine is in transit as well:D Hope it gets there ok...I'll be watching the tracking progress...
IMHO I think that 'Crusader' coin is a great choice!
That's an excellent example. I love big silver with double portraits!! Congrats @Mat !
You guys have me convinced------Iberian Celt:D
