Brown with green highlights around the figures and devices is a favorite of mine, so long as the green isn't bronze disease. :bored: This sort of...
Yikes! That's a lot of errors, Al. Maybe you ought to ask them if you can freelance for them (charging "expert consultant" fees, of course!)....
Thanks for the kind words about my collection, RC. I am pretty sure the "sestertius struck on dupondius flan" theory is yours! When I posted...
My thoughts exactly, David. Here are some more photos: [ATTACH] Enhanced with the "T" between IMP and CAESAR, as well as the spikes in the...
I almost never buy slabs because I cannot afford them. This one was $30 on eBay, which is a bit salty for a worn as of Vespasian. Slabbed as a...
Wow, that's an awfully dramatic portrayal of Zeus! I agree, a bit trashy, "cheap toy" looking. Workout routines among the ancients didn't...

Just in last week, an upgrade...I like the weary, pensive portrait: [ATTACH] Julia Domna Æ Sestertius (193-196 A.D.) Rome...
I'm always carrying around a ratty sestertius, etc. as a pocket piece. Good to know there're others out there! You don't happen to have a photo...
Just got in a couple of Marcus Aurelius AEs from the depths of eBay. First this early as/dupondius with Minerva standing; as with all low-grade...
Back in October, Coin Talker @tenbobbit sent me a big lot of ancients that I am still working through. Included were four limes that run the...
Great post @Al Kowsky - that posting in Germany sounds pretty terrifying - and after Vietnam! A friend of mine served on a forward observation...
Here is my limes for Julia Domna - a "Mother of the Senate" type which is hard to find compared to some of her other types. The style is quite...
