Very well done - you've included many graphics I have never seen before (and I've spent the past years scouring the Internet for Roman...
A very interesting post. I thoroughly enjoyed it, but don't know enough to contribute much. But I will say that when I was first collecting,...
I agree the OP looks fishy, but I am no expert. I'm pretty price sensitive, so I was very happy with this LEG VII for $13.39 via eBay. Usually...
I'd say you did pretty good just with the prutah. Nice score. I have no idea what the second one might be, although Judean is a good guess....
Some more wonderful Neroes - thank you all for sharing. It was interesting to see some of these can be had for fairly low prices - and it is nice...
Great write-up Justin. Earlier this year I got a dupondius that is very similar to your as - Roma seated rather than Fortuna (and issued early in...
Great post, Roman Collector, and nice commentary everybody else. I just recently got a Valerian that I'd been poking around getting information...
Thanks for sharing that, Roman Collector. I really enjoy those archaeological news articles, especially when they find statues (or coins). I...
I like your coins - sorry I can't help with attributing them, but I sure like looking at them!
I think this is an interesting question (and not dumb at all). Common or not, a sudden influx of the same type may indicate a hoard, and I find...
Nice coin and a great place to start with ancients.
Very interesting, David. I had no idea that poppies lurked in the modii. Sorry to say I have none to share. Your post did make me check my...
Thank you all for the help. Yes, I thought the reverse type was Mars initially, before I posted on Coin Talk. Indeed, as Ken suggests, Marcus...
I recently got a batch of four Roman bronzes for $0.99 which are better than you might expect, but no beauties for sure. Attributions have been...
Nice write-up, Julius Germanicus. And some nice examples all around. My TD Dacia sestertius is on a very square flan, characteristic of that...
I did get the threads mixed up. But I feel so much smarter now, as I did better on Zumbly's quiz. In both cases my answers were wild guesses....
That was fun, if embarrassing. I thought Number 10 was especially annoying - that guy totally looks like Philip the Arab! [ATTACH]
Thank you all for sharing all these fantastic Nero's in your collections - and thank you for your support of my bottom-feeding collection. I...
My collecting "goals" are nonexistent, for the most part. I just look for things I want and can afford on eBay. Of course I'd like a bunch of...
Ancient pet names are interesting. The "Megerius Mosaic" shows that even animals slaughtered in Roman games were given names. Here you see...
Separate names with a comma.
