Fantastic tigress! It's hard to believe that anyone would think that's a panther.
For anyone who doesn't have Wolkow's book (and I would guess that not too many people in the USA or UK have it), this is what the Wolkow numbers...
Number 2 could be a goat, but I'm pretty sure that number 4 is not a stag, or it would have branched antlers like your number 3. It looks more...
I suspect you mean left!
For me, the best part of this thread, besides getting to know more about many of the wonderful people on this forum, has been that it very much...
It certainly would also be nice if we knew what the actual name of the antoninianus was, since "antoninianus" is a totally made-up name -- perhaps...
Unfortunately, I can't see the officina numbers on some of these, so it's difficult to tell whether the second and fourth ones are supposed to be...
Two of my favorite coins show dolphin riders: Roman Republic, L Lucretius Trio, AR Denarius, 76 BCE. Obv. Laureate head of Neptune right, XXXIII...
@Carl Wilmont, those are great! You can see a photo of my own Eye of Horus (Uzat eye) -- along with a number of other Egyptian amulets I have,...
OK, I get it now. I had no idea where you were coming from or going with that!
Thanks for the compliment, @Ryro! My suspicion is that we won't come close to completing the list, which has 31 different types on it including...
This was supposed to be together with my response; see my next post. How they got separated into two posts, I have no idea!
What in the world does "revisionism," "for the PC" or otherwise, have to do with Pangerl's book or the review I asked about? This seems like a...
I would like to believe that anyone who actually considered the question by mentally visualizing the rotation would realize that if the inverted...
@maridvnvm, I'm curious as to what makes this a "stater" rather than a "drachm." What is the weight? I know that the entry for this coin-type in...
Indeed, you did! Here's mine, followed by a question for our experts on Greek coins. Thrace, Istros. 400-350 BCE. AR Drachm. Obv. Two facing...
@Carl Wilmont , very impressive! Here are a couple of my own ushabtis, from earlier in this thread:...
A follow-up question: never mind riding backward or forward, are there Greek or Roman coins (or art in general) showing women -- whether humans or...
It sounds wonderful! I already have Pangerl's Roman coin book, and love it. This was my comment in another thread when someone suggested that...
OK, if nobody has another coin from Arabia Bostra -- or from the whole province of Arabia Petraea -- then I'll change the category a little to...
Separate names with a comma.
