Something @Alegandron would like? How about this one? [IMG] Mn. Fonteius C.f., 85 BC. Roman AR Denarius, 3.97 g, 21.0 mm, 5h. Rome mint. Obv: MN....
Probably NOT fake at all. The legend reads MVLT, not KVLT and ALE B just means the second officina (first was A) in Alexandria. Here's one from...
Constantinopolis city commemorative: [IMG] Constantine I, AD 307-337. Roman billon reduced centenionalis, 2.51 g, 17.1 mm, 6 h. Trier, AD...
There is a reverse of a goatherd milking a goat on denarii of Vespasian and Titus. This post was probably directed at one of our Flavian fanatics.
They will invoice you in a few days.
It looks coppery, not brassy, so it must be an as.
Much better pictures and it tells me two things: It's probably a dupondius/as and not a sestertius; I'm guessing it's about 26 mm in diameter and...
As of this coming Saturday, I will have a daughter-in-law. Her name is Victoria. I'd like to celebrate by posting a coin depicting her namesake....
Cool! Agathodaemon remains unrepresented in my collection.

Pegasus!!! [IMG] Caligula, AD 37-41. Roman provincial Æ 20 mm, 6.74 g. Peloponnese, Corinthia, Corinth, Ae. P. Vipsanius Agrippa and M. Bellius...
That's a dupondius/as, RIC 1410; this reverse is not known for sestertii.
Venus standing right holding scepter and apple only exists as a denarius type, RIC 729, under Marcus Aurelius. Venus standing facing or left,...
Lovely coin! Here's the example from my own collection, which is in a lower grade. No smoothing. [ATTACH]
If it's FAVSTINA AVG PII AVG FIL, it can't be Fecunditas. Darn. Thought I had it.
It's Faustina II. The female figure is standing right and holding a scepter and another object -- I'm thinking a baby. I'm leaning toward...
Ancient coins. Here's a coin from antiquity and a listing from Mionnet's catalog in 1822: [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Well, I think we can all agree it doesn't stand for "about uncirculated." Very weird. I suspect it's genuine but defaced.
The Roman imperial period is full of father-son combos, but I'm going to limit myself to just a couple of "barracks emperors" so as to allow...
You sure that's not Aesculapius? He has a snake staff and everything.
Separate names with a comma.
