Wow, congratulations! That's no small feat, getting a pair, Constantius II and a Gallus! (Even one would make me very happy.) I don't think I...
Nicely done, Zumbly! I was watching that one, too. Not only is it a really great portrait for a Gratian AE3, but really interesting Officina...
That is an attractive Titus from Antioch. Big Bronze can still look good even nearly smooth. I will definitely go to smooth. I distinguish...
One thing I love about those Phalanna issues is all the variety of Sakkos! (Sakkoses? Sakkosi? Sakki?) And to think, for just a moment, I wondered...
In my opinion, that's not what it looks like when faked. Personally, I'd be confident that's genuine sand patina. You can see that there are...
I’m sure others here bought coins from the same collection sale, so I thought it might be worth sharing some background info on the...
I've been answering often lately, so I wanted to skip one, but I can't let that prompt get 12-hour'd! (An interesting one, @TuckHard !) Here's...
I would like be able to present a convincing Manus Dei on the Cyzicus AE4s of Theodosius -- John MacIsaac (1975) argued that, at least at that...
Thanks much, @Severus Alexander ! Wonder where I got that from... Well, I'm glad to be able to remove that error from a bunch of my records now!

I made a mistake originally and posted a silvered Trier Campgate, not Lyon, so fixed it about 90 seconds later with a Gratian Lyon. And updated my...
(I consider that late enough, Donna!) EDIT OOPS! MY FIRST ONE DIDN'T COUNT -- TRIER NOT LYON!!! Unfortunately I don't have my favorite type of...
Being a collector of "captives coinage," I tend to appreciate these ones where she balances it on the captive's head. Haven't gotten my own photo...
Great answers and info and examples, @JayAg47 , @randygeki and @maridvnvm ! Very helpful. I do think #1 must be the horse's other hind leg shown...
Quick View Thumbnails (minus the two images direct from CT Gallery): [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Is it time for a new...
Nice set of Caesarea clubs! I don't have any silver coinage of Caesarea, but I appreciate it from a distance in my nice little copy of Sydenham...
That's a fascinating one, @Broucheion , I love any kind of bilingual coins. (Also from a very interesting collection; "JSW," as he was known in...
That countermark on the left facing Claudius AE Asses appears to be Hercules/ Herakles. (There's one on an Agrippa As in the current HJB sale, BBS...
How about a "Mars AND/OR Ares"? This one is usually called Ares (or Ares/Mars), I assume because the Bretti (far S. Italy) were "Hellenized" and...
Sorry, didn't see this until now, it's a good question, glad @Barry Murphy chimed in with some great institutional knowledge about Vinchon being...
