I will do that! Sorry I never noticed that link before.
AMCC? Anyway, I would argue that even though coins like mine continue a series that began before Lydia came under Roman control, the fact that...
Thank you. After looking through quite a few of these coins, I know that it isn't that common for them not only to have such sharp details, but...
Beautiful!
What is "Lire"? Do you mean lyre, the musical instrument, or something else?
The first of your two coins confirms my conclusion that pre-44 BCE coins minted in Asia Minor (or in other Roman provinces outside Italy) are...

Here we go again with my Sulpicius Galba denarius from the piggy thread, showing the Dei Penates on the obverse: [ATTACH] Next: another coin...
I noticed recently that Vol. VIII is online. This is the one coin-type I have that's listed: Philip II, Silvered billon Tetradrachm, 248-249 AD,...
Nice group!
Thank you. I think it's important to mention when I buy a coin from one of the members here. According to my order history at VCoins, I've...
Without looking it up, I can tell you that if the sestertii exactly parallel the antoniniani, it's a moose -- a/k/a a North European elk, since...
When were the first sestertii issued in the large size we're used to seeing?
