The Parisii happened to settle in an ideal region: their position in the Seine river placed them in the middle of a major trading route to...
An astute observation! I've seen it cataloged with this similarity specifically mentioned.
Thanks! It's from the Gallic tribe - the Parisii - based in Lutetia. Lutetia was renamed Parisii in 52BC after the takeover by Rome. It was minted...
I've waited 6+ months multiple times for export licenses.
Here is my Parisii stater minted, as the name would suggest, in ancient Paris copying the design of Philip II/Alexander staters: [ATTACH]
The Aetna Master would approve of the depiction of the woman outside the border of the frame. Her love for numismatics couldn't be contained by...
Yes, definitely. Or a trite/hekte/hemihekte/etc. In my eyes, as long as it represents the history, it should be included. And, similarly a...
I supplied them with nearly enough personal information to clone me and yet that still wasn't enough to have the coin shipped. When I visited in...
I finally received a coin I purchased 10 months ago. The seller had been running me in circles for ages - probably 30 emails overall. They had the...
You're absolutely correct and I agree on your suggestions. I don't know enough about Parthian/Chinese coinage (and possibly Indian as well) to...
Here's my first Euro-centric attempt, largely off the top of my head so this is by no means comprehensive (and I'm using colloquial terms for many...
I'd suggest the Eid Mar is included but that other coinage of Brutus "counts" toward that type, and that it is labeled as "Brutus Coinage", as an...
In hindsight, it might be worth starting with 500+ and then narrowing it down: we have a lot of history to cover! :-) I have some partial...
It would be an enjoyable book to write but based on my lack of available time to even write up the coins in my own collection, it'll probably...
I may have missed a book at some point but I do find it surprising that there isn't an accessible "Red Book"-esque book for ancients. Covering...
:-) A collection by wave count would be a great excuse to buy more! I've toyed with collecting Olynthus tetradrachms by string count but...
It is impossible to only want a single Tarentum nomos but so far, I've been outbid on the others I've chased. Here's my example, which I was...
For a single coin, selling it direct to a collector or outright to a dealer would be the only routes to go. The overhead of handling a consignment...
Great post; couldn't have said it better myself.
This is a great type but it does come up from time to time. This exact coin sold in 2009 for $2070 (including buyer's premium) at CNG in an eSale...
