I really like your new denarius, the hole notwithstanding. I have no ancient coins with holes myself (not counting Roman Provincial coins from...
A very interesting article; thank you. (The Google Translate translation into English is easily understandable.) The photos are great; they...
Now that I'm home and not trying to type on my phone, I can explain what I mean: when there are as few primary sources as there are concerning the...
I don't think anyone really knows where the Radanites came from originally. There are, of course, various theories!
X Your Medusa looks quite similar to the one on a coin posted by another collector on Facebook. The reverses are rather similar as well. I am...
Even more obviously a female figure on the reverse. Crawford recognizes that evident fact, but doesn't attempt to identify her. Michael Harlan,...
Wonderful photos, as sad as some of them are. Here are my coins minted in Syria: Syria, Seleucid Empire, Antiochos VIII Epiphanes (Grypon)...
I didn't know that Reid Goldsborough used to be a member here. (See his articles on the Medusa-anchor drachms, quoted extensively in my Apollo...
What you say makes sense to me, anyway. FYI, David Sear states in RCV IV (at p. 512) that Helena died "probably in 329," and that upon her death...
I hope you're being facetious, because you can't possibly be serious. It's been proven rather conclusively that he was a fraud. Don't limit...
I concede the resemblance, but I still vote for Fields. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
You could always try a reverse Google Images search.
For anyone interested, in the second Goldsborough article that I found on the Wayback Machine -- the one on the fake Apollina Pontika...
@Bing, perhaps your Medusa looks a little bit like Goldsborough's Type 11? [ATTACH]
I think the reverse figure is rather obviously female -- she even appears to have one bare breast, in the way that Amazons, as well as the...
To me, he looks more like W.C. Fields.
I think the date of 470-450 BCE is much too early for your coin, for the simple reason that you can see that the Medusa is on the obverse (convex...
I know this is an old thread, but since it's been revived anyway, I thought I'd ask my question: this Valerian I antoninianus of mine is...
I like yours a lot! I think I'll stick with one for the time being as well. I don't want to have to spend all those hours again looking at...
Your example looks a great deal like Reid Goldsborough's "Type 2," pictured in my post above.
