The denarius was one of the longest-lived denominations in Roman history. It circulated continuously for a period of more than 450 years -- from...
Wow! Great specialty collection you have going on there! I love doing in-depth research into varieties and comparing my coins to other published...
Cool coins, @randygeki ! I like the barbarous, of course, but also the Alexandrian-style.
That's a cool coin, @Julius Germanicus , and the old Spink ticket is great! And I see you've decided to keep both of your original two sestertii...
That's a lovely coin and one that has always been out of my reach. You are justifiably proud to have acquired it for your collection. Domitia is...
You're doing fine and don't expect to be able to attribute all of the coins in group lots. I've had bulk lots where I couldn't identify the ruler...

Very nice! Here's a Caracalla denarius I decide to rephotograph today: [ATTACH] Caracalla AD 198-217. Roman AR Denarius 3.37 g, 19.7 mm. Rome...
Then it almost certainly was struck with the same reverse die as mine and the other example that went unsold at Lanz and Elsen sales. I guess...
Thanks, @Victor_Clark . The photo in Varbanov's book looks like it has P in the lower left field and ΩΝ in the lower right field, doesn't it?
Hi, all. Hope one of you Roman provincial gurus could help me with this. There appear to be only two other examples of this little bronze of...
