Do you mean you think it might be a coin of someone other than "the" Nero? I don't think that's possible: The coin names him on the obverse...
Aha, here is something interesting I learned about Blaundus that's relevant to this coin type. About 10 miles to the southeast is a...
I had some trouble with your URL, but there's good information in it. Let's see if these work:...
Ah, this is a great coin! A great things about Roman Provincial coins is that there are so many mints (over 350?), even if you've heard of them...
I'm not altogether sure why, but it seems I made a point of accumulating Magnus Maximus & Flavius Victor campgates some years & decades ago (not...
Ah, good! A chance to photography & share this one for the first time. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Postumus Billon Antoninianus (21mm, 2.48g, 6h),...
That is really a beautiful set of trays. The "(mostly) matching toning" really makes it especially impressive. Reminds me very much of the...
To get things started again, I'll invoke the 48-hour rule (used to 24, but fewer players these days).... I don't think I have a Carausius, but I...
Only if you want it to be unsealed anyway. I doubt it's going to be a decisive factor in judging authenticity. To me it looks like it's probably...
I don't see any problems with the coin itself, though the photos aren't really clear enough to know for sure. But my initial reaction would be...
Fascinating coin, Jochen! I love these coins depicting the intellectual figures of Greek history. I don't think I knew about this one, though....
I love this period of Roman history and its coinage, but the hard part is always deciding what to include in this period. Caesar's Civil Wars...
How about a radiate Nero? [ATTACH] Thessalian League AE Diassarion (?) (20mm, 6.88g, 12h), with Taurokathapsia scene on the reverse (bull...
Wow I love that portrait of Maximinus! Very sharp. The first thing I think of with him is that, after Domna and Sev. Alexander were killed for...
Here's a very early portrait of the new Severus Alexander, reportedly a "Proclamation Issue" (i.e., Proclamation of a new emperor after the death...
Okay, I don't think I've posted this one in Follow-the-Coin yet (not according to the search engine anyway), though I'm sure I've shared it...
I showed a couple of examples earlier, but I also have a related project that may be of interest to other provenance enthusiasts, but… …Warning…...
Here's a Father's Day-themed Persis Hemidrachm from the 2nd century BCE, a bit of a mystery which Manuchtihr AKA Minuchetri AKA Mančihr's are...
That is a great reverse type! Quite interesting and artistic (and "Greek") for a Gallienus. Well, I have another "newest ancient" already --...
Well done again, assembling the known specimens. I do think that they are all die matches, and that yours is a double-die match to Vienna/Woytek....
