Nothing of great value here, though many are nice-looking. I collect Antonine women and so #5 is my favorite. Here's the one in my collection:...
Both coins are the envy of any collection. Each is simply wonderful.
Cool! Here are a few of mine: [ATTACH] Caracalla, AD 198-217. Roman provincial Æ assarion, 1.92 g, 15.4 mm, 2 h. Moesia Inferior, Nicopolis ad...
Wow! That Philip and Otacilia provincial is astonishingly well-struck! No wonder the flan split during striking! Gorgeous!
I obtained this one because it has about the finest portrait of Gallienus you'll find anywhere. It's so nice, I doubt even @TIF would find the...
Oh, and going with your theme of one side of a coin being pretty and the other pretty damaged, I'll toss in this Alexandrian tet of Gallienus,...
Barely identifiable: [ATTACH] Nero, AD 54-68, and 1st wife, Claudia Octavia. Roman provincial AE 24.6 mm, 8.60 g. Crete, Cnossus, AD 54-62. Obv:...

Very good price, too, for such a rarity!
I've had this one misattributed for years. That's what happens when you take the dealer's word for things and don't do the research yourself. I'm...
Gorgeous!
Really lovely examples, everybody; this has been an entertaining thread.
I think that "ancient static" is the remains of a Minerva advancing right reverse; you can see the curve of her shield.
There are quite a few that appear before Sabina. Some are very rare; some appear only on provincial coins: Fulvia, third wife of Marc Antony...
I don't think this is barbarous; I think you're looking at pre-Roman coinage from the city. That is probably Zeus on the obverse (I think he's...
Hence the use of the phrase pre-Christian and placing Christian language in quotes.
I'm in an antiquarian mood tonight and shall use the nomenclature of early numismatic works. :wacky: This type is rather common and only the...
Another interesting aspect about these coins is the pre-Christian "Christian language" in its inscription. Mine says ΚΑΙΣΑΡ ΘΕΟΥ ΥΙΟΣ, which means...
Separate names with a comma.
