Even the more expensive Gallienus coins don't really cost that much: for the five Gallienus "zoo" coins I have, all in nice condition (for...
I happen not to think it's particularly funny to ridicule the appearance (and marriage prospects, as if that were related to appearance!) of...
For anyone still interested in the issue of Constantine II's legitimacy, here's a footnote citing a couple of articles on the subject:...
A naked male figure on a reverse with a "Virtvs" legend, like the ones shown, is definitely supposed to be Mars -- displaying the qualities of...
Both your coins are great. Especially the damnatio memoriae one!
Thanks for the kind words. The difficult part is trying to find nice-looking coins without spending a huge amount of money. I realize that...
I thought I'd follow up on my "Four Sons of Constantine the Great" thread from a while ago (see...
Thanks for checking for me. It's certainly close.
@akeady, just from seeing the outside, that looks like a very impressive book! I completely understand if you don't have time, but if you're not...
Have you checked BMC 5 (Macedonia)(see https://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/BMC/BMC_Macedonia.pdf)? Or AMNG III (see...

I'm going to cheat, flagrantly. But it seems justified to me, somehow! [ATTACH] Next, a swan (or as close as there is to such a thing on an...
I'm not suggesting that it was. Rather, I'm suggesting that it was bad luck for me to talk about how quickly I've been getting shipments from...
A wonderful book. As is the sequel. (Which I think of every time I read about Fausta and Crispus!)
This is what I get for boasting about DHL: I just received an email notifying me that there's been a "delivery exception" for another DHL package...
I'm not sure about that. My son is not a sports fan at all (let alone of boxing), but I'll try to remember to ask him if he knows who Cassius Clay...
Fascinating. Re all the references to Cassius Clay: do you mean Curtis Clay? Cassius Dio?
Sounds fishy to me! Although it's going to take the seller a long time to get rich by defrauding people out of $6 coins, even if he thinks he'll...
I'm very sorry that this has happened, @tenbobbit, but I wouldn't give up yet if I were you. I would continue to press Fedex with the point that...
Separate names with a comma.
