The Rosetta Stone did no such thing, at least not by design. It introduces error to try to characterize it as you have done here. Hieroglyphic...
Thanks for taking the time. That was interesting.
My confusion came from not realizing that Hieroglyphic and Demotic are both script types for the same underlying dialect of Egyptian language,...
Yeah. Same problem with Semitic texts. For that we had comparators in productive languages like Arabic and Ge-ez, and parallels to Hebrew and...
Interesting timing. Here is a composite image of the stone I put together from online images to show the stone and the three script types, and a...
In the interest of accuracy, your coin is not RIC VII Heraclea 79. It has a leading dot in the exergue which #79 does not. If your coin has a...
Much available? True from a referential standpoint, but scattered hither and yon, and alongside the vanity sites that merely show off...
I picked up a couple including one I'm pretty excited about. Will post the description and pics when they arrive.
How I started and why I stay are questions that will get two very different answers from me. As for others it did begin with touching the...
Thanks for the heads-up on this app. Real possibilities with this one. Which version do you use for coin stuff? Do you need anything more than Lite?
Late to the party, but I just found this thread. Is this coming together? If the ANA show (Aug 13-17; Wed - Sat) is a target, you should be...
Not sure I get it. Are you saying you applied solder to this coin (to plug a hole perhaps)? Is that the blotchiness on the two reverse figures...
The OP has been on the list since June 2015. After four years in this environment are we dealing with a newbie who is making newbie mistakes?...
Doug Smith has said repeatedly that putting coins on a white background will yield a dark image. I will add that failure to control lighting will...
I was on summer break after my second year of college and on my summer job on the day of the launch. After the tragedy two years earlier I was...
Excellent video TIF, not only for the images but also the attention to scholarly detail, word pronunciation, referencing, and by no means least -...
I certainly cannot speak to the authenticity of your coin, but the imagery of both sides and the size of the piece put it in range for the early...
I decided to look into the curly beard detail to see if I could find more. I have just over 40 examples from 13 of the 14 mints. Most mint...
Apparently somebody in Alexandria thought the emperor had curly hair in his beard, since we see that motif in one of the OP coins and also in one...
You have a very good eye for coins, Pavlos. That progression shows real growth and potential for an excellent collection. Congratulations!
