A very interesting, and thorough approach to this problem. Over the past year or so, when trying to attribute coins in my collection, I find some...
Heck yeah, I'm interested - this is great stuff here! Thanks for sharing it. This is exactly the kind of background information that makes...
Thank you, Roman Collector! I greatly appreciate the help on this. I'm slowly accumulating these Roman tets and as much as I enjoy them,...
I just got a lot of two Roman tetradrachms while scrounging on eBay. One of them I figured out fairly easily, but this one I am not so sure of:...
Maurice Tiberius half follis year 6? I'm kind of guessing - here is an older thread - the second coin looks like this....
Over the past few years I have assembled a large, random collection of books on ancient history, culture, art and literature, courtesy my local...
Pulling up an old post because I just got an example very similar to rrdenarius' OP and wanted to share it. I think mine is the same host coin...
Not provincial, and not pretty, but here is an Antoninus Pius denarius with the Genius of the Senate on the reverse: [ATTACH] Antoninus Pius...

Interesting discussion. I have never had any interest whatsoever in owning a slabbed coin, but I always told myself if one came up cheap... And...
I always keep the original tags, even the misattributions. I tuck them in behind my (hopefully correct) tag in the flip. Provenance is...
Thank you all for your input. This was kind of an odd eBay deal - the seller said that it was a "fantasy" - but admitted he knew little about...
I was hoping to garner some opinions on the legitimacy of the Juila Maesa AE I recently got. My Severan AE collection is very small, so I don't...
As Clavdivs suggests, pretty much my whole collection qualifies for this thread. Here are two Antonine sestertii - one with the temple of...
A very interesting post - like so many of you, I sort of backed into Provincials from the Imperials. I got off on the wrong foot with Provincials...
Very interesting grouping. Not just the coins but also that an auction in Munich was happening just as the USAAF and RAF was starting to drop...
Nice write-up Jochen, and some great riverine coins. I have Rhine (horned) on an issue of Postumus: [ATTACH] Gallic Empire Antoninianus...
