Great addition! Something that makes this "homage" to Trajan even cooler is that Trajan own's coinage included many centuries-old...
Nothing wrong with common! In fact, I think it's usually better to go for the common types (except where specializing or there are aesthetic...
I've shared this coin once before, but in a different post, so I'll give it its one showing here. I'm quite fond of this little Persis...
Very cool, I actually like this design and the style better. This reverse design actually adds one element missing from my OP type: The crescent...
Great pages on the Constantius II reverse types. My favorites, and the ones I've devoted most energy to acquiring, are the FEL TEMP REPARATIO's --...
The publisher’s blurb for Michael Molnar’s (1999) Star of Bethlehem… book begins: “Could the $50 purchase of a coin by a Rutgers University...
Great coin... That reverse! What an interesting depiction of the fallen enemy holding the sword. (Usually it seems like he's trying to get away?)...
Impressive coin with a great obverse. I love big Provincial bronzes in general, but this mint has some particularly fun designs. (I also like how...
Very nice acquisition! I was planning on bidding, as I like these ex-Dattari coins, and don't have an Agathodaemon yet, but decided not to at the...
That's a great coin, and interesting date arrangement, as you say. Quite nice for a Diocletian -- the quality control had suffered in recent...
That's a nice one! Here's one of mine. We can interpret the reverse legends on these, ORIENS AVG, as meaning something like, "A New Morning in...
I agree with @mikebell , this is a pretty nice coin. These dove / wreath bronzes from Sikyon published by Warren are very popular and can be very...
Very interesting coin! This isn't really my area so I could miss something, but I don't see any in ACSearch. In RIC / OCRE, I think this bust...
That is a superb coin, @cmezner ! I have been studying the Clay Collection offerings since it went live. There are several coins that I hope will...
An impressive collection cataloging the varieties of Lugdunum mint! The number of official issues of Probus is staggering, and totally...
Mine are mostly Provincials: Thessaly, Nero as Apollo playing kithara: RPC 1439.25: https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/coins/1/1439 [IMG] Thessaly,...
I suspect this Priapus would qualify. Priapus is very proud, pointing at his Phallus, while Septimius stares and smiles approvingly from the...
@Jochen1 -- many thanks for the update! I may have mentioned before, but I think of my collection of coins as a sort of annotated bibliography of...
I think it's probably not the Jerusalem walls, but there was a special reason, at least in Hendin's reading for a certain period (he may have...
One of my favorite coins is a Mazaios Tarsus Stater (but of the lion-bull type without city walls). [ATTACH] This is the only coin I've ever...
