My Commodus is brown in color appearing to be a bronze coin, so perhaps there was some debasement of the tet in his reign. Also the "drachm"...
Here's my SOLI CONS AVG type from the animals series. One has to admit that he struck a wide variety of types so one could spend all of his/her...
Nice in spite of the wear @Eduard
I have one coin that dates back to the early 1900's and the collection or Dr. W.R. Bruck, a collector in Berlin. That's as far back as it goes for...

By date starting with Caesar, Marc Antony, Augustus, and so on all the way to the 11th century with Byzantine anonymous folles.
Nice coin and of the well-known (relatively speaking) emperor Alexius Comnenus. He wrote a letter to pope Urban asking for military help against...
We can also call Diocletian "Diocles" since that was his name during the time of the reigns of Carinus and Numerian. He changed it after...

It's interesting that the common AR antoniniani have not really gone up in price at auction. I recall a Gordian III being the first coin I ever...
Sometimes there is a handful of antoniniani amongst the LRBS. I got a Claudius II, Aurelian, Probus, and Macrianus in one lot of 250 coins. They...
Nice post @Sallent - alternative theories about why the western empire fell are interesting to contemplate. If you listen to the History Channel...
Gratian was emperor from 367 to 383. The eldest son of Valentinian I, Gratian accompanied, during his youth, his father on several campaigns along...
Pretty interesting article @Roman Collector - thanks for the link.
Here's a Tranquillina from Singara, Mesopotamia (the mint Doug has an example of). Mine's different though but it does have the leaping centaur...
