Thank you for that terrific write-up on Bonus Eventus, @Jochen1 Here's one that hasn't been shared yet - Gallienus. I wonder if this is about...
Bringing up this old post because a while back I got an As of Trajan showing the temple and I was stuck on the Honos/Pax theories as outlined in...
I adore eBay! It is where I get most of my coins. Fakes? Overpriced stuff? For sure, but there are interesting things there if you don't mind...
Lousy portrait, but this Caracalla from Thrace is my only "mock countermark": [ATTACH] Caracalla Æ 28 (c. 212-217 A.D.) Topirus, Thrace...
Is it as awful as this one? Almost, not quite, two bucks! What a deal! :vomit: Virtually unidentifiable, but thanks to the @dougsmit website,...
Nice coins and write-up, as always, @Ryro. My only Claudius II for 2022 sort of matches the OP, but MARS VLTOR: [ATTACH] Claudius II Æ...

It is a real pleasure to read @DonnaML and @Roman Collector discussions, but it is even more pleasurable when I happen to have the coin under...
Another terrific FF, RC. These tend to provoke me into updating my attributions to conform to the latest information (Beckmann, etc.) that you...
Nice one, RC. A while back I got this semis in an eBay lot - it took me a long time to figure it out. Similar to the OP, but cruder - note the...
It looks good to me too. If it is a fake, I'm in trouble! Those are some very convincing surfaces. :nailbiting:
Very nice sestertius, and a great price, @Mammothtooth Here's mine: [ATTACH]Severus Alexander Æ Sest. (226 A.D.) Rome Mint - 6th...
This year so far, only a couple of Hellenistic-era Greek coins have come my way. Both of these were unattributed eBay finds: [ATTACH] Macedonia...
Nobody ever invites me to bacchanalias :( these days. But always glad to jump in on a CT digital version. I recently got what I assume is infant...
