There were still carving the names of the roman emperors within cartouches as late as the third century, so technically they were upholding the...
Great Magnentius and also a great follis, plus the latter silver piece is in very good condition as well. Nice haul!
Thank you @TIF. I had heard about this type somewhere and was intrigued to get one of the coins actually issued by a pre-Ptolemaic pharaoh,...
Thread seems to be losing steam ryro - thanks for posting the wildwinds stuff. I guess not many folks here on CT have any more to contribute,...
A couple of good ones there.
Great coin @Brian Bucklan ! I'm somewhat envious. The example on Vcoins sold for 550 euros.
Here's a Salonina tet which may have a bit of a smile, or maybe she looks like she just swallowed some vinegar... [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Even after taking Latin courses I'm still not sure. Did they call Caligula "Gaius"? Aurelius "Marcus" and so on. How about Caracalla? Marcus as well?
I actually have a few of the monogram type coins with the obverses so screwed up that I cannot attribute them. Who knows, I may have a Marcian, I...

Nice coin @ValiantKnight - I'm bidding on a siliqua in the Frank S. Robinson auction as well as an argenteus amongst others so hopefully some of...
Nice coins @randygeki - My first purchases this year (hopefully) will come from the Frank Robinson auction closing next Tuesday (the 15th). I've...
Hello to Ancients @dog_pound ! I agree with TIF's sentiments completely. I started out with some inexpensive coins - silver coins of the mid-3rd...
I'm watching on the sideline as these late, late roman bronzes show up. I like some of those recently posted - they are actually attributable!!!...
I agree Doug that Theo II issued a lot of gold coins some of which are quite nice. It's just that the folks at the mint didn't have the heart to...
Related to the Scythians I'm pretty sure but a bit earlier...
Great write-up - thank you. The Pazyryk people (600 B.C.E - 300 B.C.E), though somewhat earlier than the group you mention, also had European...
