My understanding is that on the CONSTANTINOPOLIS coin it is considered to be a representation of the city of Constantinopolis and not Roma,...
Hmmm. I have never thought about counting them this way (or counting them at all to be honest). Let me have a look. Doesn't include uncleaned...
Thanks for all the replies. I just thought I would complete the thread by showing the other two LRB I bought at the same time. Having chosen the...
This was my own 70 gram example. 70.23g, 41.93mm. [ATTACH]
I looked at this one myself. I was put of the enlarged images by small areas that look as though it has been cleaned back to the bare metal. I...
This one arrived today. Now these really have some presence in hand. I know it is small compared to many other Ptolemaic bronzes but it is still...

I nearly pulled the trigger on one of these recently and it was nowhere near as nice as this one. You had a good deal here and the dealer images...
A great example of a Nerva bust. One would recognise him from the portrait alone. A nice all-round example of an interesting type. A great looking...
I have seen a few lovely examples of Augustus and Agrippa dupondii from Nemausus over recent months from fellow collectors. I have been keeping an...
I had missed your thread completely as I have not been online much over the last few days. I am glad you pointed it out to me as I have seen...
I must admit to never having seen these counterstamps before. Very interesting indeed. It's nice to see something I have never seen before.
These are nominally the mint of Laodicea-ad-Mare thought the exact city of the mint is unknown. Regards, Martin
Septimius is attempting to convey a lot of titles all on one coin and this causes them to have to be shortened. It is all about the political...
