Titus and Domitian both sported shortly cropped beards on their coins. Because they are not full beards they are hard to detect due to the amount...
A nice way to end the year. Congrats!
Good luck with your gamble. I hope Santa is kind to you.
Quite right, TRP VIIII, a hasty typo on my part. The coins with this reverse were first struck for Titus before Vespasian's death in the first...
The same type was struck for Titus as Caesar under Vespasian as well, RIC 1076. Thank you for the reading recommendation, but as a Flavian...
The coin is Titus RIC 49. Dated TRP VIII IMP XV COS VII. The type was also struck for Titus as Caesar under Vespasian and could indeed harken back...
I can certainly see why each one of these would make your top 5. An interesting variety on display too!
Awesome tets! Antioch was really kind to Caracalla.

Wow. That really is unique, to say the least!
I agree with Mat, the Otho and Claudius are tops. Good luck in 2016!
That was my favourite too, until the Titus came along. In most other years any one of my top 5 would've made number one.
I have a work area for my coins - it's just my study desk. The coins are stored in my safe deposit box at the bank. I would love to have a proper...
Odd that the 'set' is being sold individually. Perhaps the coins will bring a higher price that way. Good luck to anyone attempting to capture all...
According to K. Butcher in Coinage in Roman Syria the eagle had both solar and divine attributes. Zeus and Apollo were 'the most celebrated...
Oh why not. Here is a runner-up, 10b. [ATTACH] Domitian as Caesar AR Denarius Rome Mint, 77-78 AD RIC V958 (R3), BMC -, RSC - Very, very rare...
Inspired by the wonderful year end lists of other members, I thought it would be fun to figure out what my top ten are and post them here as well....
