One of my sons brought home a merry case of Covid, so we're currently quarantined. Couldn't sleep much last night due to fever, cough, and...
Could be. If the coin's from Tyre, you should see a small "o", for Azemilkos. Numbering still seemed to follow him even though Diodorus Siculus...
This is probably a better subject for a different thread, but I do admit to feeling guilty at times. Recently, my younger son needed a tripod and...
It's really tough to tell given the condition. I agree that it's most likely lifetime given the position of the legs and lack of "Basileus." My...
That's a very nice imitative! Also sharp how you picked it out as a misattribution and presumably paid less for it. Here's one I picked up...
My understanding is he has his own TV show there and is relatively well-known. Interestingly, going through his books on Amazon - all of the...
I have one too, though I left everything in its original currency (USD, EUR, GBP, CHF, CAD) to deliberately make it trickier to calculate a total,...
Wow! Congrats! I'll probably never own an aureus, but I'm OK with that.
Lately I've been reading this book, which follows a Sestertius through the Roman Empire. In the story, at least, the coin is minted in Rome, then...
Very nice coin! There definitely seems to be an uptick recently in interest in Axum. Yours is a great example. To my complete surprise, I had...
Hello everyone! This year has been a huge success for me. While it wasn't until well into it that I began my "Philip II, Alexander III, and the...
Gotta love that Syracuse tet! All are outstanding coins. Prices have definitely gone up, but it looks like you still had a great year.
I'm a bit late, but I have several coins of Philip III. Here's one of the OP's type. [ATTACH] Philip III AR 1/5 Tetradrachm 2.57g Minted under...
I've honestly never understood NGC's grading system for ancients. It certainly seems like they're trying to force a square peg onto a round hole....
Recently, while going through coins, I noticed this book: Franklin's World: Cartoons about Ancient Coins from Coins Weekly So, I ordered a copy...
As I understand, there's been some debate one whether there was one Skostokos or two. The general consensus today is there was just one - and the...
Once upon a time, there lived a guy named Skostokos. He may have been a king, or a general, or just a guy who knows some guys, if you know what I...
I've never been the best for words, but I hope you find encouragement in this guy. Antigonos took an arrow through the eye in battle and grew to...
Very nice coins! I'd have to go with the Kos tet. Interesting version of Herakles (with a beard).
In terms of the Blaine, WA case, here's what I previously wrote about it (not sure how to link to specific posts). From my reading of the...
Separate names with a comma.
