Looks to be modeled on a stater of Athena and Pegasus. Like this one from Corinth:...
I wondered how the spacing was designed to work. I use trays, not binders, so I assumed somehow standard binder pages would overlay the sheet....
I just ran across this product on eBay and thought it was interesting--especially for novice collectors. Someone has put together type sheets for...
@Nap Really interesting coin and write-up. Do you know if the D on the obverse and reverse yields a /d/ sound as in “dog,” or is it really a...
Still don’t have one of these Egyptian issues. It’s on the list.
Sorry Ro. The thread was on portraits; hence, the obverse-only photo. Here's the whole coin. [ATTACH]
That's a good expression. I agree with folks above that $25 is not a bad way of getting a little education and attribution practice. And you did...
I guess since this is my own thread, I can hijack it. Does anyone know if the mint at Ostia has ever been located? I've been to Ostia Antica...

Thanks! Looks like I took down some good notes when I bought the penny, but the cut coin (must be a cut farthing by the size) is still a bit of a...
I'd agree that those coins with the big SC in a wreath may be Roman provincials from Antioch. They are often found quite worn--that Syrian desert...
Thanks for this. I'm a medieval lit guy by trade but collect ancient Roman coinage because 1) some medieval coinage can get pretty pricey and 2) I...
I have the Sayles books. Of them, Vol. 3 on Roman coins might be of particular help to you. I must admit that I am less enthusiastic about the...
Here’s the link. He spends some time talking about this very coin. It’s a good discussion, as you might expect from Warren....
Those are really nice Glenn. Do those come from your days of buying bulk lots and dealing a bit? Or did you have to seek those coins individually...
