I have a feeling nobody's going to answer this request, so I hereby withdraw it, and replace it with something a little easier: another coin...
The obverses certainly are similar. Does anyone have the skill and time to juxtapose the three of them together in one post to make them easier to...
Thanks! This is the original Frank Robinson photo based on which I bought my coin last year. It's actually one of Frank's better photos, I think,...
I am so envious! If I had seen that coin, I would have snapped it up myself. All I have is these two: C. Renius, goats: [ATTACH] C. Allius...
Hey, that's the same request you posted on May 6! Unfortunately, I have only one coin to post in response: See footnote re date on coin:...
I like both of yours, but am especially impressed by your upgrade. I post my Antiochos VIII again only because it shows a very similar hook nose...

That's been a convention in written English for centuries, in rendering obscenities, or G-d (for religious Jews) or, although it's dated,...
Same here. The first link goes directly to the Paris example. Plus @Nicholas Molinari posted an image of the Paris coin anyway. That's not the...
You just need to wait for this comprehensive Latin dictionary, which has been a work in progress since before 1900, and has an estimated...
@Nicholas Molinari, I have no knowledge of what, if anything, ancient accounts say about its features and dimensions, but we do have the...
I wonder what Victorian translations of Aristophanes were like -- were they heavily expurgated?
Thanks! I like that word too, and am also rather fond of Lorbeerkranz!
@Marsyas Mike, I apologize for saying above that I didn't think it was Aurelian -- I made the same initial mistake you did, by looking only at...
Separate names with a comma.
