Below is a 20-Nummi of Athalaric: INVICTA - ROMA The reverse with two eagles under a palm tree is somewhat mysterious. Some scholars believe...
It is historically interesting that the Gothic bronze coinage became completely "national" after the death of Theoderic. Here is a Decanummi of...
Here is Faustina Junior with a very nice hairdo. [ATTACH]
Very interesting coins, but I have to pass. The first one is of course based on a barbarous radiate, the second one looks Merovingian. I know...
Could it be this one? Victory inscribing shield with VICT DAC https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=612001
The war dragged on for several years and eventually Theoderic and Odoacer agreed to share power in Italy. Theoderic, however, didn't stick to the...
:-) It has to be said though, that the Gothic subculture has absolutely nothing to do with the historical Goths.
This solidus was minted in the name of Justinian and may fall into the reign of Athalaric/Amalasuntha, Theodahad or Vitiges. It shows the rapid...
By far most of Theoderic's solidi were minted in the name of Anastasius. However, there are also issues in the name of Justin I. The coin below is...
Wow, the solidus is fantastic. It belongs to the series that was issued before the treaty between Theoderic and Anastasius in AD 497. The Theta on...
Here is a coin that I bought in the NAC auction. It is a Quarter-Siliqua of Athalaric. I have some 100 Gothic coins in excellent condition. With...
I like your Odovacer Nummus above. Odovacer is of course a pivotal figure in late antique history. From the Byzantine Suda Lexicon, we know a bit...
I do not believe that anyone can firmly attribute a coin to the Avars, or indeed rule out such an attribution. Only find spot evidence can shed...
These are very nice coins. The Merovingian solidus, in particular, is very desirable. It was probably minted during the reign of Chlodewig I...
The coins of the mint of Sirmium in the 6th century is a special interest of mine. I have 85 Siliquae, including 16 of the extremely rare...
As for my experience with Lanz. I had an incident, where a coin did not arrive. He refused to refund my money claiming that I was trying to get...
Amazing! The pictures are great. The name (An)astasiu(s) is clearly legible. The fragment is in such good condition. I wish the coin was complete...
I will be very interested to read your paper when it is out. From findspot evidence and the sigle SRM on the half-siliquae it is clear that these...
Well done. I cannot say anything about its monetary value, but numismatically and historically the coin is very significant. Thanks for the...
The two coins are so well made that they could pass for official issues. I think these coins are not really imitations, let alone barbarous...
