A temple coin I haven't shown in a while. But it's a Faustina II, so I can't help myself! [ATTACH] Faustina II, AD 147-175. Roman Provincial Æ...
One (more or less) interesting thing I just noticed was the difference in spelling between my coin and @DonnaML 's coin. Typically, the "gamma...
Easy to get most of them. VERY hard to answer all of them.
Wow! What a year, @zumbly! All of them are outstanding! I would have to say my favorites are the Antínoös AE drachm and the Cleopatra Selene...

What a year it has been for you! My favorites are the Corinthian stater, the Antiochus VIII, and the Galba.
I know how you feel, @John Conduitt. When I first took up the hobby back in the '80s, I hardly knew any of the figures on Roman coins, but thanks...
Great coins, all of them, but my three favorites are the semis from Castulo with the crescent over the bull, the Carinus antoninianus, and the...
