Can´t wait for Saturnalia and can´t post my Top Ten for this year because my last purchase is still in the mail. But as I feel like posting...
Beautiful Denarii, Donna! And amazing detail on the Genius. One can actually make out from the shape of the beard that neither emperor can be...
I received tracking confirmation from the mail that my gift was delivered to it´s recipient a couple of weeeks ago, but he has not reported here...

RIC IV (1934) does not explain it´s rarity scale, but I know a total of 5 specimens of RIC 194. Apart from your Sestertius those are: Same pair...

I received my first Saturnalia gift today! It is so big and heavy and looks so carefully packed - puts mine to shame I fear. My Avgvsta took the...
Gorgeous selection! I´m especially jealous about that Julius Caesar and those Aurei!
Thank you for the info! One more question: do you think it is possible to date reverse dies according to the position of the star, i.e. left or...
Neat selection! I would choose Julia Paula :-)
So the tradtional dating of this Sestertius to 220 AD by Sear et al. is wrong because there should have been a star from the beginning of 220 and...
