Yes, she also looks like she has aged a bit although the 2 specs are contemporaneous. Was there a convention to depict Julia at different stages...
And this is the slightly more expensive one, which I think it's close to XF, 23mm 5.16g: [ATTACH]
Excellent thread and wonderful coins! I posted this one yesterday in my Double-Maiorinae thread...
Few late romans are better than a Iovian siliqua. Maybe a Procopius siliqua :)
On these confusing Chi-Rhos I judge the denominations by die size rather than flan size. Both Decentius and Poemenius I posted were evidently...
This is my favorite bull :) [ATTACH]
I think none of us ever has. RIC also records Nicomedia 8 and Cyzicus 6 as AE2, also very rare.
The normal Chi-Rho for Decentius shouldn't be too hard to locate. But the Chi-Rho inside wreath is another thing altogether. I've only seen one...
Excellent Valens. I didn't see many around. As far as rarity goes the Julian II bull is the most readily available while the Valens is the rarest....
Here is something that fits in this thread although not a FIL AVGG. This coin is probably a transitory type between either CAES to FIL AVGG or FIL...
That's the spirit. I'd like to see as many of these as possible. Antioch was the largest supplier for the 1st issue type in 326 followed by Trier....
I think I still have spare change from the last time I visited the States. I gotta locate it and see maybe there's something collectible there. A...
Has anyone else noticed that while his normal AE3's usually have the generic pearl-diadem, his AE1's usually have this more ornate diadem, both...
I think it could've been worse. I could've been a smoker (the taxes on tobacco here are ridiculous) and a picky eater, which I am not (although...
Unfortunately I was the under-bidder on that one. It was the maximum I could do as I had made other coin-related purchases *and* food-related...
This one here concludes this purportedly second dynastic issue from Rome in 329AD. It is perhaps the 8th spec I came across and because it was on...
Keep away from "buyer's remorse"! Don't drink & buy! :))
You're right, no die match but very nice coin, in a better condition than mine.
I have never heard of a Constans from Ambianum, as the mint was opened by Magnentius after Constans had been eliminated. There was however a brief...
Excellent, Steve, when I'm at a computer I'll try to figure whther our coins are die matches : )
Separate names with a comma.
