@Roman Collector, thanks for the explanation and the great coins! So, is the inscription on the reverse of this coin of mine dative? Does it mean...
I know. I was just kidding!
Well, congratulations! The genetic relationships you find with other people are definitely real, although the estimates of the genetic distance...
Absolutely beautiful! I like coins too, and although this is hardly an artistically arrayed or proficiently photographed group, here are all the...
I actually have no doubt about the obverse. If you compare all the way around, they match point by point.
LOL. Thanks for the compliment, but I'm the last person ever to claim expertise on word processing issues (or much of anything else except for...
It could be a sideways gamma, but I see there being a second, longer leg attached to the A, and a gamma has only one leg. Hence my idea that it's...
Congratulations on the 39,000 posts! My example, with another letter ligatured with the "A" (see detail). The eagle and dolphin both have...

In my recent thread about my new Hadrian tetradrachm with a reverse depicting a mummiform Ptah-Sokar-Osiris (see...
Wonderful coins, all. I still have only one coin depicting Ceres -- a Diva Faustina I, surprise! -- despite there being a number of Roman...
I agree. I never understand why to some people a "glossy black" patina is a selling point. It may be possible to create a good photo, but in hand...
You'd get many more responses if after uploading the images you clicked "full image" so the photos appear in your post rather than as thumbnail...
I was just going to say the same thing. In fact, they are the most notorious and flagrant dealer in fake antiquities I know of. There's probably...
That's an amazing piece. So I guess that's a gryphon rather than a sphinx after all on @Al Kowsky's coin. I'll know now to keep an eye out for...
Thanks, @Ryro. Where is your coin from?
