Here is my favourite Arcadius Maiorina from my collection. Mint: Alexandria Note the Tau-cross (Antonius-cross or Egyptian cross) above the head...
@Bing ... thanks a lot. I bought them over a long time. I always look for nice condition and good or exceptional style. I rather have a beautiful...
I'm not sure, but I always though that this type with the barbarian facing the emperor and begging for mercy is somewhat scarcer than the others....
This is my favourite FTR-type with ship.
This piece here shows a cross on the standard.
This exemplar shows a large christogram (chi-rho) on the standard.
On this piece the emperor's standard shows a Staurogram. The standard can show three Christian symbols: cross, christogram (chi-rho) and...

This is the favourite FTR in my collection. Best, Dirk
This coin is definitely not from the mint of Rome. If is was an Italian mint it could only be Milan. In fact, this coin is from Sirmium. It was...
Its what is called a "Rechenpfennig" in German, a counting jeton. Your piece probably dates to the 15. or 16. century.
Yes, it certainly looks like a moustache. I know it is attractive to attribute this coin to Odovacar rather than Theoderic. I'm not a hundert...
This is a great coin. The VAC of ODO-VAC is legible and the monogram is that of Odovacar (compare to the Quarter-Siliqua above). If you are ever...
As a reminder of how Odovacar is depicted on his Quarter-Siliquae. Needless to say that these coins are in public collections. The first coin...
