Both exceptional coins!
Some of both, but mostly the former. Those types were struck for only a decade or so under Alexander before he died, but continued to be issued...
A quick tip I've learned, as a general rule of thumb, is that if the reverse shows Zeus with his legs crossed (as with both of your coins) it is...
I posted this thread on Numis Forums as well and a member pointed out that the variant does have its own listing in Woytek:
Thanks! I did not know that the British Museum Catalog was available online like that. Unfortunately I don't have the printed RIC volumes, but I...
Bought this Trajan denarius awhile back, and - like the Domitian denarius I posted about awhile back - I'm only now getting around to working on...

Happy New Year everyone!
A fantastic collection in its own right! Beautiful!
Sounds like you had a good year! Incidentally, if you know how to get in touch with the Munich Collection please let me know! I've sent them...
Wow, great find and cleaning job!

Roman provincial coin of Julia Domna? That's my best guess, until I can take a closer look at home.
