Thank you Andre for showing your Fortuna sestertius and the picture of the Phoenician galley. Somehow I missed Okidoki's post in the Hadrian...
That looks like a great lot, zumbly. I see a few I would love to examine more closely!
Every now and then I wonder over to acsearch just to admire some of those exceptional bronzes which most of us will never be able to afford....
A nice example, TJC:)
Not really familiar with Paduaner myself, but a check in acsearch shows all Nero DECVRSIO Paduans listed show a mounted soldier behind the...
A very nice example, zumbly:), (with 3 oarsmen). I've just realized that on bronzes, galleys to the left (arriving at Rome) are depicted with...
Those are some nice examples - thanks for your comments and for posting them! Andres, that is a nice sestertius - I am still missing a decent...
Among Hadrian's coinage a type which I particularly like is that showing a galley on the reverse. This type commemorates the emperor's travels...
That is a nice set in silver SeptimusT. Congratulations! The Hadrian bust is particularly nice. I don't have a full set of the 12 Caesars either,...
Alegandron, half the travails you describe would suffice to bring many a strong man to his knees. You show great fortitude in how you are enduring...

Happy Thanksgiving to all! I have no coins with turkeys on them either, but this Sabina dupondius shows Ceres seated upon a modius and holding...
This is an excellent re-cap of the last major incursion of the romans east of the Rhine. The best I have read in the english language....
I say it again, that is a very impressive sestertius of Macrinus you have there J.G! I lack a sestertius of Macrinus, but do have this dupondius...
A nice provenance is always good. It adds to the appeal of your coin for sure.
I thought I would drop a note to mention we are now back in Bonita Springs after the unforgettable days before and after Irma. We absolutely...
I am glad this turned out OK, Jens:). Aber so viel für 'Aus Sammlungsteilauflösung!'....... nicht seine Sammlung wie es aussieht. Ich bleibe...
Boy, those two sestertii sure look similar. So, I would ask myself, is that possible? --> Same shape planchet, edge cracks at the same location,...
Thanks guys - that is what I thought too. It has beautiful luster and tone, but I guess at the end of the day its a 45 and no higher. btw, this...
Purchased in 1988 as EF40. (much luster and steel/blue toning - picture is lousy). [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
