I really like this example of the young Caracalla - I have the same type but it was clearly made by another celator, using a portrait design that...
These are all pretty nice - the Septimius Severus is rare - this is the first one I have ever seen - you got this in a pickup jar? Jeez, things...
Interesting - this is clearly from the same die. If I had never seen the Julia Domna with similar high relief I would say that this is definitely...
I have not seen such high relief in any other bronze except for the Julia Domna referenced in the article (Hilaritas reverse) but even that was...
Very rare! I’ve never seen this type before -
Figured it out - thanks!
Thanks for finding another example! It is copper so I assume it is an As. I still wonder why it was struck with such an odd reverse.
Fascinating coin! I have been interested in the provincial coins of this are for quite some time.
I will hopefully be posting more information on the coin shortly as well as better photographs.
I recently purchased this wonderful As of Geta, RIC 129(b), Aesculapius standing between two snakes, in distyle temple. The coin is large -...
To add to this - there will be a big exhibition, then the coins go into storage probably for decades, until forgotten. I wonder how many coins are...
Would be nice if this were eventually sold to collectors - more likely it will end up in the basement of a museum somewhere, slowly being consumed...
I can certainly see how the Trajan captures the grandeur that was Rome - oddly enough what does it for me is a certain type of Nero sestertius,...
I am always interested in how people collect - there is always something to learn. This collection is a stunning achievement- there is so much to...
Wish I could take this one down - turns out not only is this listed but it is common - I have an example! - next time I do more research before I post
I love the Caracalla. I really have to wonder at how these types got struck given the celebrations that took place in Rome that took place after...
A friend has managed to purchase close to 10,000 coins over the last 20 years, a sizable number from ebay, including a huge number of imperial...
It is a mystery and something that hasn’t been brought up before. The Byzantines - who of course were really Romans - got out of the habit of...
I believe that this is an unlisted bust type - I also have an example which I will try to post. Blake
The portrait on this coin is beautiful - it has a different look about it perhaps because of the lack of wear - stunning coin though.
