That's what I decided to do. I have a Roman bronze patera handle that's going to sale as soon as I get it (won it unexpectedly at auction), and if...
Nothing you've said is taken negatively - I appreciate everyone's feedback, and you've helped me notice things I hadn't seen, so thank you.
I asked the seller about that very same thing, the odd look of the brown on the reverse. That's when I learned of the wax treatment the coin has...
Limited by finances (lack thereof) to really only having one coin, I've always wanted it to be a nice big bronze of Vespasian and I found one, a...
You're right - I forgot to note that this is bronze. Tongs, that I've seen, have a hinged end where the "gripper" part is (like a pair of pliers),...
Since there are so many members here with experience in artifacts, I wanted to show this and ask what you think it is. It's listed as 1st-3rd...
Man, a divorce and you still had enough left to build a house? You're one lucky guy. After continually being taken back to court to give my ex...

I see what you did there (I was a 70s teen) - I'm going to wait and see if anyone else gets it. :)
I don't consider it impatience in the digital age, when communication is instant. There's no excuse for a business going more than a day without...
Any chance of deciphering this sling bullet? It's not nearly as distinct as yours, unfortunately. [ATTACH]
I'm interested in a bronze As but noticed this small spot of "something", and I'm wondering if it's the infamous bronze disease. It's the only...
Well, if nobody else is going to mention her, I will: Claudia Octavia (daughter of Claudius, sister of Britannicus), another of Nero's victims....
That portrait is stunning, and so is the toning...good lord!
No fair - you didn't start it off with one of your own.
Jumping at any chance to contribute something, now I have to post a Julia Domna that I no longer own (and I know I've already posted this coin...
I've watched "Gladiator" many times, and loved it every time - one of my favorites, purely for entertainment. Of course, the overall history is...
