A very interesting post - like so many of you, I sort of backed into Provincials from the Imperials. I got off on the wrong foot with Provincials...
Very interesting grouping. Not just the coins but also that an auction in Munich was happening just as the USAAF and RAF was starting to drop...
Nice write-up Jochen, and some great riverine coins. I have Rhine (horned) on an issue of Postumus: [ATTACH] Gallic Empire Antoninianus...
Lovely coins. Both are types I hope to luck into some day. The issue of T. Carisius is an interesting one, as I believe it was issued for...
Nice examples, Roman Collector. The information on the various titles used on these lifetime Faustina's is useful. I have but one AE lifetime...
Nice lookin' coin. I'd agree that it looks more like Zeus than Roma. There are quite a few of this time for Marcus Aurelius - it ought to be...
I just got 2 Roman Provincials, and I am not exactly sure where to start. I thought they might be Arabia Bostra, at first, but what I can make...
Very interesting - I see mostly bronze Provincials with countermarks, not silver. I'd be interested to see what this is.
RC, Congratulations on finding a second "British Association" in your collection - I didn't find any others in my own, but am still pretty...
Back in September 2017 I needed help with a Faustina II as I picked up at my local dealer for ten bucks. Roman Collector helped me out with...
Thank you all for your assistance with this odd-ball coin. I think the "unofficial" issue approach to this one is probably correct.
That was a well-spent $1.25. Nice coin.
A worn denarius with Faustina I veiled - my only silver with this portrait: [ATTACH] Faustina I Denarius (141-161 A.D.) Rome Mint DIVA...
Great coins and write-up, RC. I just got a veiled Faustina I and Faustina II - both sestertii, budget examples. I'd wanted this portrait on a...
I like those bare-headed Antoninus Pius examples. Interesting to know why is shown that way when he was Augustus - the early Caesar issues and...
I really like your new Faustina AE - that is a lovely younger portrait. The problems wouldn't bother me at all. In regards to "sestertius die"...
I got a tiny - but not as tiny as the OP - palm a while back in a lot of stuff. Despite being bigger, mine looks a lot like the OP. It took me a...
Interesting discussion - I like the "what I like" theme. Faustina (I or II) is of particular interest because the style of the portraits can vary...
Great write-up, Jochen. Marsyas is pretty much my favorite myth - a drunken bald guy taking on Apollo in a flute slam, only to be horribly...
I like broken coins - they are usually cheap. Not that I seek them out, but sometimes it is the only way I can get an otherwise unaffordable...
