Hekate is a fun one! I don't think I have any (not exactly, though, at a minimum, I've got some of the "overlapping" deities, and perhaps I'll...
Well, I'm glad @JayAg47 revived this thread or I would've missed all this. And yes, of course we're all familiar with the practices described by...
Those are great examples, and great post. I don't have a 5th (AFAIK) but I do have at least one 4th Em. of Lyons. It's actually my favorite...
Thank you!!
Fantastic example of that type, much better than the vast majority! I'm curious, does anyone know why it's identified as a "dove" not eagle? Is it...
Vespasian "Judaea Capta" AE As. As I've commented before, one of my favorite sub-collections is "barbarians, captives, and enemies" on Roman...
It's funny but I often feel exactly that way about numismatic literature. I remember an interview in which David Sear shocked the interviewer by...
Well, a lot of 12hr'ed coins lately! (Even 24hr'ed!) If I hadn't just done so a few round ago, I'd have posted my 12hr'ed New Style Athens as a...
In a single day's work? Wow. I've seen some other impressive results with Na Thiosulfate such as @JayAg47 's owl tet and a few others

SPAIN, Colonia Romula (Seville). Tiberius Dynastic/Family Æ As (29mm, 11.45 g, 5h), with Germanicus and Drusus Caesars. Struck AD 14-19. Ref: ACIP...
My impression at first glance was octopus (or the related images like cuttlefish, etc.) That's funny, I would've posted one of the 3 or 4 coins...
Thumbnails for a quick preview (all images w/ captions & links also in an imgur album, incl. summary pricing data for the 20 coins (since it's...
No, I wish. But I do have a pair Valerian coins displaying Parthian (Persian) captives (VICT PART; there are also VICT PARTI). HIGHLY ironic!...
No it's much WORSE than 5Euro per coin. It's 5% of the hammer. (Not just Tauler y Fau, everywhere I think.) So I paid 18E for the last (360E...
@maridvnvm -- so glad you revived this post, because I missed it the first time around. Most of my trophy types also have captives with them,...
Congratulations -- this sounds fascinating! Whatever the relationship between coinage and philosophy (or absence of relationship), I'm looking...
$13.75 each (including fees). Purchased in 2019 in 3 groups. I still haven't photographed them all individually, so here are 15 of 48 of these BCD...
