It does look like a relatively scarce type. RPC has a couple possible types, depending on whether it's a laureate draped & cuirassed bust or just...
Ah, okay! I follow you there. That's one of the coins Naiden (2003, "Supplication") discusses. I will definitely give this a lot of thought. One...
Beautiful example -- perfect countermarks on both sides, one of the most perfect pairs I've seen! And beautiful green patina
These large Byzantine Folles from the 6th-7th centuries are really impressive and satisfying coins. A few of my favorites: [ATTACH] As...
Maybe that was why? Not sure how long it was operating or how long troops were there. But maybe the Eastern Legions were the primary recipients of...
Nice additions! Apparently I never properly photographed or cataloged my lone Histiai Tetrobol. Click if you dare... [ATTACH] But here's a...
It is -- or was -- uncertain, but maybe someone who knows Valerian/Gallienus coinage well can say whether opinion has coalesced around either of...
Very attractive! I love Antoniniaus surfaces like this, kind of a golden tone over green/olive patina. It gives them a real depth and richness....
I understand what you mean here, and I think the kneeling figures on Roman coins are often, perhaps even usually, friends. But never enemies,...
Great information about the other reliefs and the inscription, thanks for sharing! Yes, that convinces me that must be Philip kneeling. The term...
Ooh, an Alexandrian Tetradrachm of Vitellius, very nice!
If you search on ACSearch by including only the first two digits of the weight, e.g., 2.7, it will show results for any coins described as...
Great coin! I like all these early Augustus Denarii, but this one has an especially interesting history tied to it. At some point I'd love to...
Great coin and great Pegasos on the reverse. I don't have too many, but I love this period for the combination of Gallic & Roman style & symbols,...
Very interesting! Well done recognizing that it wasn't the usual variant from the pre-Actian period. Especially interesting that the object in...
Very interesting about the Byzantine pentanummi still showing that building! I'd forgotten about that, though I have some examples (mostly low...
Collecting Roman Provincials, one ends up with lots of Tyches and lots of temples, but not always (or even often) together. Here is one more...
I would expect it to be M.H. (Musée Hermitage) instead of H.M. if they used initials for it. They did deaccession & sell a bunch of Greek coins,...
Nice one! Scarce mint, Magnetes (in Thessaly). You can even read enough legend to clearly confirm that is indeed the correct mint: MAΓN and maybe...
Here's a base metal cast Denarius: Geta obverse with the reverse of his mother, Julia Domna's Juno Denarius -- which would be really cool if...
Separate names with a comma.
