HAPPY FTR FRIDAY! Anyone have any new FEL TEMP REPARATIOs to share since June of 2021? (Or just not posted above.) Don't feel constrained to...
That's a great score! I've got exactly one denarius brockage, a Republican: [ATTACH] Roman Republic. L. Thorius Balbus, c. 105 BC. AR Denarius...
Domitian. Looks like an AE As. Virtus on rev. https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?term=domitian+virtus+%22ae+as%22
Good find! Interesting, I see that the lot doesn't mention him as consignor, but I wonder if the whole lot was his. He didn't seem to post that...
Also -- I'm curious -- how important is it that yours was found without the star? Is this one more, less, equally desirable? Since you note this...
Congratulations! One measure of a collection is how long it took to find some of the coins (or other objects) included. That must've been quite a...
I'm obviously a big numis-lit nerd because I make a collage for each new book. Here are two of my recent additions: 1. Sydenham's classic Roman...
That sounds like a great haul of 5th century minima! Gotta love those little AE4s! I'm planning to post more about this one later, but I'll throw...
Many people claim otherwise, including at least some professionals. I'm in a hurry, but just searching "bronze disease" and "contagious" I find...
Aha -- this actually seems quite rare and special! If you try to find a Galba Denarius with Pax reverse, it won't be easy. There isn't one in RIC...
Aha, I've got one of those! (Actually a pair, this is the better one, I think.) I love this type but don't think about it much anymore because...
My understanding it that @RichardT is correct. Everyone knows it is a chemical reaction, not a biological process. (Other fields of...
Wow, some cool coins just posted! Thanks for revising this thread, @Sulla80 , these are really interesting. Especially for the cross-cultural...
Just so you know: I'm really mad at you for making me remember!!! :mad::D Long before the print catalog arrives in the mail, Harlan J Berk sends...
Great coins! I love these Ilkhanid & other Islamic bilingual coins (and trilingual, depending how you count), especially that they have Uighur...
I don't see BD on those coins. Hard green deposits on one, porous surface on the other. That porosity is, of course, caused by corrosion, but not...
Wow that's a weird one! Great coin!
That's a fantastic owl! Here's a Celtic imitation of Philip II (but as a Drachm): [IMG] Celts in Eastern Europe AR Drachm (3.35g, 15mm, 10h),...
As Jyrki Muona featured prominently in this thread's original plot (he's a very prominent Otho specialist), I'll post my sole Otho, which is...
I like these ones that have the Meander pattern! A cool bit of linguistic history there too. I didn't know that he had named all the Antiochias &...
Separate names with a comma.
