Wow. Interesting coin. It looks as if Constantine is ready to peck out Licinius’s eyes with that beak. I’ve been cataloguing the few Sol coins I...
Ok, last lazy ID question for the day. Really, I’m just looking for confirmation here. Two coins: COIN 1: I think this is Constantine I; RIC VII...
I briefly thought of some kind of phalanx arrangement, but David's much more specific description is very attractive to me. At least I like it...
That's very helpful. Thanks.
Well, here's to spidey sense and experts. Victor, how would you describe the bust type? I looked at your bust type descriptions on your site, but...
So apparently there’s a breed of ancients collector out there who enjoys counting blocks and rows and dots in the process of identifying the...
That Divus Romulus would've fooled me. Head looks a little small, but it's within range of what I'd expect a die engraver might produce for the...
In case the fire altar attendants on the reverses of these Sassanid coins has anyone thinking of converting to Zoroastrianism, there's a fairly...
"...fairly soon" he says. HAHAHAHAHAHAH!:banghead::banghead::banghead: Seriously. I hope you have better luck than I. A Julius Caesar / Aeneas...
I'd like to hear more concerning the skepticism that this coin reverse shows a "plan of the camp." I agree with PMONNEY that this reverse type...
Thanks for this, Warren. I am one of those who has benefitted from your pages long before I knew you in this virtual forum. I agree with you...

Two of the oddest iconographical reflexes of the river god motif can be found in Ravenna in the Arian and Neonian Baptistries. Both baptistries...
Bought a coin from Verissimus in Spain on 3/26; got it two days ago. Bought a coin from Numismatica Prados in Spain on 1/21; it arrived in ISC New...
The reverse is tough. But I'm pretty sure it's Felicitas. I'd be happy to hear what others see. Trajan 98-117 A.D. Struck 109-110 A.D. Orichalcum...
I'm not a metallurgist, but I'm guessing this Trajan sestertius is orichalcum? It's a coin I'm cataloguing for my university. [ATTACH]
Yes, I could do that. Message me your email and I'll send you my CV. My publication record is modest, but I'm happy to make whatever contribution...
I've written both for a classics academic journal (Vergilius) and for the less formal Celator. It seems that Nicholas's proposal might help foster...
I suppose I should know this by now since I have sold a few items on eBay. But does the seller know my maximum bid? In other words, since I'm the...
