Nice lot of SS you have there, Orielensis. The bronze is hard to find, especially in my price range. Here is my favorite, a green one: [ATTACH]
I found another one - my Tiberius collection is very ugly. But again this is kind of interesting - it features Livia his mother as well as...
Here is one from Tiberius that took me a long time to attribute - they are fairly scarce, but oddly enough, Wikipedia provided some info on the...
Littleton Coins sometimes screws up. Here is a dupondius labeled as an as I got on eBay - I am not complaining! [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...
This is an ugly one from Casearea Martimia, but if my attribution is right, it is kind of interesting: [ATTACH] Titus / Hadrian Æ 22 (c. 73...
Since there was talk about Anastasius' large and small module follises, I thought I'd put them out there for a size comparison. My large module...

Thanks Ed - I appreciate the suggestion. I've been searching Hermes and Herakles, but I haven't had any luck - although there are so many types,...
This one really has me stumped. I am pretty sure it is Elagabalus or Caracalla. Most of the obverse legend is visible and the portrait seems to...
Interesting coin - could it be from Thrace, Abdera? https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=2977191...
I've been staring at these a lot. And staring at a lot of coins online, and I am growing more confused. Can anybody provide information on...
Crusty! Holy cow, that would be a Concours d'Elegance coin in my collection. I think it's lovely. Well-centered and well-struck, with an...
Fertility is what I thought too - the figure looks like one of those symbols of fecundity that empresses often had on their coins. But virtually...
That is some very impressive sleuthing, RC. I still struggle figuring out dates on the Imperial coins that come my way (in Latin)! I never...
