As nice a coin as that is, I cannot take credit for selling it! You have me confused with someone else.
What bothers me is the use of an outdated reference when a new edition has been published. The most current edition should be cited. However, if...
I believe I used the wrong term here ... 'limes' denarii are normally made of bronze, this coin is obviously silver and does not appear to be a...
Interesting write-up about the barbarous nature of the piece. Is the weight correct for the time period? If not an official issue, would this be...
Two beautiful tets to end the year with. Bravo!
I think that's why ancients, more than any other coin collecting niche, is a very personal journey. One's man's trash is another man's treasure,...

We're nearly the same age. I always thought you were older!
I would think reading Gibbon today has more to do with antiquarianism than history. For modern treatments on the subject try Bryan Ward-Perkins...
I agree, that shekel is superb! Welcome aboard Erin.
