Happy birthday Doug! Great coins. I'm a follower of your "I collecting the coins that interest me" way of doing things, I always appreciate your...
Here's a Commodus that I think clearly shows an example of the legends being engraved last. The engraver misjudged the length of the reverse...
I agree that the style looks like Antioch rather than Rome. Below is one that I have of RIC 29 from Rome. Although Salonina's portraits vary a...
I have it recorded as: MACEDON. Koinon. Pseudo-autonomous. Time of Gordian III (238-244). Ae. Obv: ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΥ. Diademed head of Alexander III of...
I really love this coin too. It’s facinating to me that this shows a story that many of us know... on a coin that’s nearly 1800 years old. And at...
Here's another one of the series that I've posted several times before that shows the taming of Bucephalus. [ATTACH]
At this time... it would have either been Constans or Constantius II. I think the space allowed for the hard-to-see part of the legend makes me...
That one's hard to find too. You see faked ones here and there, it's nice to see a real one! Nice coin!
Ooooh! I have a coin that is related! My coin below is SB-1762 of Constantine VII and Romanus II overstruck on a SB-1760 of Romanus I, like your...
Taking a wild guess... it looks like the overse legend could read Valerian. I see “...LIC VALERIA...” It’s provincial... reverse legend starting...
I have one of these that saw a lot of use and bought a lot of wine in its day! It's rough but I love it. [ATTACH] Sex. Pompeius. Denarius circa...
To each their own. We obviously value the coins in our collections for different reasons. I’d most times value a coin that is damaged but...
That’s a really nice coin! These are usually in terrible shape. It’s amazing how fast bronze coinage declined after Theodosius I died. Coins of...
Maybe if it was a modern coin where many millions were minted and many millions still exist. Ancient coins survive in much smaller numbers and are...
There are a lot of great 4th century coins here... what about 5th century?! At the year 400-ish, my Roman collection screeches to a halt. After...
When I get a coin, I create an email for myself of information about the coin and as many pictures of coins of exactly the same type that I can...
Here's a Caracalla from Alexandria Troas with the Temple of Apollo Smintheus from an angled perspective. [ATTACH]
These later coins don't get much attention in my collection so... Here's a late 4th century coin bomb! For those unfamiliar with coins of this...
I've always liked the portrait on this one... it's got some green in the cracks that I was a bit worried about but in the time I've had it, the...
I think Doug has it. As far as I know, Carinus and Numerian were Caesars until Carus’ death so they weren’t all Augustus at the same time....
