Congrats, Bing. That is a fine Marc Antony "fleet" you have accumulated. Octavian is quaking in his boots...er caligae. *...
Thank you for writing that Marsyas denarius up, Parthicus. I would've gladly paid $22 for that - worn, yes, but good metal, nice tone, and a...
Great examples of Otacilia Severa - I only have one, a sestertius. Probably the nicest sestertius I have in my small, low-grade collection. I...
Great Elagabalus horns everybody. I only have one and it is a bit cruddy, but the price was right ($9.33): [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Roman Empire -...
Nice Liberalitas examples; an interesting type to be sure. A while back I came across a very late example from Commodus which, thanks to zumbly's...
Wow, Volodya. That's what I call a pretty superlative batch of Imperatorials. Beautiful.
I only have one two-headed ancient, a somewhat scarce one from the Roman Republic. This one is not too pretty, and, among other things, has...
Thank you for the vote of authenticity, Bing. Yours might've cost more, but it sure looks a lot better than mine!
Well, I hope this experience hasn't put you off Roman Republicans. They are a fascinating series to collect. I too was recently burned by an...
Great article. Thank you for sharing it.
Great looking coins, everyone. I like Byzantine stuff and I especially like Phocas - he was such an awful guy. His column is the newest ancient...
While we're on the subject of ancient pimples:bag:, here is a worn Domitian denarius with wolf-and-twins reverse that looks pretty good to me,...
I am really having trouble attributing this worn as of Vespasian or Titus. The legend does not seem to match anything I can find online. I can...
I am very jealous of that RR denarius with Marsyas (especially for that price). Nice find!
An interesting thread - I've seen that sort of planchet "dotting" on a lot of ancients and I have been wondering about it myself. As for the OP...
What a terrific lot! I'm really enjoying the process here.
As for corroded bronze, most of the bronzes in my collection would qualify. I just got this in the mail yesterday. Paid $12.23. [ATTACH]...
Those are great looking coins, Eduard. In a weird way, I sometimes feel that damage adds something to ancient coins - Venus di Milo without the...
I have a Julia Domna as (or dupondius?) with what I am pretty sure is a HILARITAS reverse. Rather crusty, but perhaps this one could profit from...
Yeah, I wasn't entirely sold on the description either. But I will say at first glance of the seller's photo, I immediately thought "Domitian"...
