Yes, I found the photo I took. From the Lillian Malcove Collection at the U. of Toronto Art Museum (not the ROM), a Byzantine steelyard weight in...
The Owl is lovely, and those two steelyard weights are fantastic. I am pretty sure I remember when you bought one, and remember seeing one a lot...
These are wonderful so far! I love the Satrienus, and the weights too. Looking forward to the rest.
Those are interesting. Is that a countermark on the obverse of the second one, or a view of what's inside his head?
Mt. Argaeus: Lucius Verus AR Didrachm 161-166 AD, Caesarea, Cappadocia. Obv. Bare head right, ΑΥΤΟΚΡ ΟΥΗΡΟϹ ϹƐΒΑϹΤΟϹ / Rev. Mt. Argaeus (or cult...
My favorite has to be your Spaghetti Victory. She's fantastic! I also like the Constantius Gallus and the Constantine campgate a lot. But I think...

Nobody should really have to pay much more than $100 or the equivalent for one of these. I'm surprised if it's the case that someone bid a lot...
I thought for a second that there must be something wrong with my eyes!
I don't like using them either unless they come from a source I trust. Because mistakes get repeated all the time. For example, 99% of the time,...
:happy:
Is "short war beard" a real term? I guess it makes sense not to want the enemy to pull your long beard! But it didn't seem to deter the Germanic...
This may strike people as an unimportant question -- which I freely admit it is, because I have plenty of other catalog references for this coin...
Thanks. It looks like a very interesting website. And Byzantine history does interest me. A class in Byzantine History that I took in college,...
He claimed that he found most of them in Belgium.
Thanks! I really don't want to derail this thread, but the answer to your question is that I have limited funds to spend on coins or anything else...
But he didn't find it on his own property, did he? That's what he pretended, but he was apparently lying. That's kind of the point. What makes you...
