At a pinch, you could stick in a Nero hemidrachm for a quinarius, though I suppose it's cheating. Actually, for many of the emperors mentioned,...
Nero aurei are pretty cheap in less-than-stellar condition and there are many interesting types in all denominations. Baldwin's would be worth...
Here's a Domitia - RIC 847 (Domitian): [IMG] She was #165, then #148 on the lists posted. ATB, Aidan.
I agree with Doug's point, that rules referred to in other posts are modern efforts to standardise usage of Roman numerals, which were not...
Admittedly, only one of those is mine (a fourrée - the middle one). I have another "little bird" one, but not shown. The main purpose of the...
Further to the post on fourrées and the fourrée versions of the Cr. 141/1 denarius, here's an outline, which may already be well-known! Cr. 141/1...
I'm away from it at the moment, but a couple of years ago I made a spreadsheet of all examples on acsearch and elsewhere that I found. If I...
Here are a few I like. [IMG] Caligula & Augustus denarius, cf. RIC 2 [IMG] TOD + bird denarius - cf. Cr. 141/1. Interestingly, the solid...
Congrats :) I like Sicilian coins too - here are a few: [IMG] Gold hemidrachm, Syracuse SNG ANS 493 - 2.1g, 12mm [IMG] Tudeer 82 tetradrachm,...
SNG = Sylloge Nummorum Graecorum BMC = British Museum Catalogue There are many SNGs, covering different collections - basically, it's a format...
It won't be the same variety - check on the leftmost column. Even aurei and denarii can share the same RIC number. I'm away from my books so I...
Interesting coins :) My first purchase of 2018 was a Lepidus (seller's pic), so I have a soft spot for them! [ATTACH]
Coinage in the Greek World, by Carradice & Price Ancient Coin Collecting II - Numismatic Art of the Greek World, by Wayne Sayles Oxford Handbook...
Congrats on winning the competition, Orfew. Nice coins too!
Living in Ireland, I more or less have to buy ancient coins from overseas, unless I buy them at fairs here. I buy mostly from UK-based...
David Sear is rightly well-regarded as an expert, but you are paying for an opinion, not a guarantee. If a coin is subsequently proven fake,...
Picking them randomly, I should have done better :D [IMG]
Oh well - not too bad :D I guessed wrong on two 50:50 choices (but, hey - a lot of the right ones were hunches/guesses too!) [IMG]
As long as FTR doesn't become Fallen Troll Reparatio :D
Here's a Macedonian one, of a horseman spearing a fallen troll - the point of the spear even went through the coin :p [IMG]
