12-hour rule. Next: a Divus coin for a Roman emperor prior to 100 AD. Here's one I own: Divus Vespasian AR Denarius, 80 AD Rome Mint. Obv....
I liked the photos a lot -- even the black and white ones! I admit that I haven't read most of the text yet.
Perhaps people who collect the coins of Roman Alexandria might be interested in seeing this online catalog from 2018 of CNG's Triton XXI auction...
Way more exotic than the lyre and lyre-key on my Papius! Although I have no idea how scarce or common my pair is; I'm not aware of any population...
I like your invention of "ARish." I think I may apply that to the Hadrian tet I posted in this thread instead of "billon," since it looks much...
I'm with you, I think. Perhaps I could have lived with the original obverse, but one couldn't even see the design on the reverse, which I believe...
I wasn't previously familiar with that website, and have been spending the last hour or so browsing through their auction catalog as well as their...
There's no indication that any transcript of the oral testimony at the meeting is publicly available, or even was taken. However, at the end of...
How about all the works of art that the Romans looted from Greece?

Thanks. I'm very surprised. How long has it been, after all, since photos in auction catalogs were generally in black and white?
I'm not certain, but I doubt there'll be a decision from CPAC prior to the election. So the final determination may be made by the next...
Something else that infuriated me was the testimony pointing out that the three largest collections of Roman coins in Italian museums each totals...
I think people in other EU countries, at least, could still buy coins from Italy. And remember that this would extend well beyond coins found in...
Assuming that this is RIC II.3 (because the coins are of Hadrian), does this new volume have any color photos at all? It would be very...
Both sides look OK to me!
If the CPAC decides against collectors, is that the final word? Or does the State Department still have to approve the Commitee's decision?
Unfortunately, I believe that there are still links from which people can download pdfs of all the (original) volumes for free. No need for...
I haven't seen anyone else post this, so I thought I would do so. It includes summaries of each person's oral testimony, and links to the written...
