Great coin @Deacon Ray - excellent portrait of Vespasian.
I'd love to see Hadrian's Wall one day. I've only been to England once and that was on business in London. I managed to take a peek at the British...
Yeah @TIF I've seen a few drachms of Antinous for sale and they are in the $7,000 plus range, so kind of pricey. I've been to El-Sheikh el-Bada...
I am aware of the lead tesserae of Alexandria of the second century. I assume they were used as weights rather than as circulating coinage. The...
14 days is the longest hold-up I've experienced. That was painful enough. Months and months??? AAAARRRGGGHH
Very cool coins @Deacon Ray - I have a couple of Seleucid serrates in my collection that I haven't really identified yet, other than that I know...

@Marsyas Mike I have one in similar condition. Definitely well-loved coins.

Neat coin. I have two Ottoman bronze coins (found in Turkey) but have never fully attributed them...good luck with the silver piece.
Nice picks-up all and @britannia40 that's a great Elagabalus.
I have pondered this question occasionally and haven't really found an answer, though presumably some did circulate for quite some time, though...
Feel free to ask away.
Very cool coins, I should study up on the period and locale.
Sounds like a great class @Gavin Richardson with a nice sprinkling of Roman culture from the reading list in both earlier and later times. As an...
Domitian, Seleucis and Pieria, Antioch. The SC on the reverse I believe stands for Coele Syria, not Senatus Consulto. I like the left-facing,...
Separate names with a comma.
