Great work! Here is my writeup including the chronology of Carus´ Parthian campaign and the elevation of his sons, and a die study on the Roman...
During my school days I read Felix Dahn´s awesome classic 1876 historical novel "Struggle for Rome" and it was not until a couple of weeks ago...
This is the only one of my 100 Sestertii that shows something like this. No one has answered the question yet IF this is really BD but thank you...
Thanks! I fixed it :happy:. The sight was just too shocking for me...
[ATTACH] I received this Sestertius from an auction house half a year ago and it seemed perfectly fine then. I luckily have no experience with...
I am happy that I decided on restricting my one-per-ruler collection to Sestertii, but you do have to compromise a lot if you want a full size...
Hi Greg, I just noticed that your Paulina (Banti 1 / Alram 38d-5 with 52 specimens listed by Banti, 44 by Alram, and 70 in my own die study) is...
Sestertii will aways fetch a multitude of the price of a Denarius or Antoninianus of the same Emperor in the same grade of conservation, just...
Interesting! That would not be unlikely, as hippopotamus amphibius is known (from fossil remains) to have survived in the coastal plain of...
Your Sestertius has great detail, Terence! The hippopotamus on Otacilia's coins could also be an allusion to the egyptian deity Thoeris,...

[ATTACH] MARCIA OTACIL SEVERA AVG - Draped bust of Otacilia Severa right, seen three quarters from front, wearing Stephane, hair weaved in...
I bought this budget portrait Sestertius of Tiberius minutes after it was posted on MA Shops. A better one will cost me ten times the amount I...

[ATTACH] VALERIANVS CAES - Radiate and draped bust of Valerian II right / IOVI CRESCENTI - child Jupiter riding right on the goat Amalthea,...
Thank you for the info, Curtis! Sadly the reverses indeed are missing on the KHM´s site but I will ask Mr. Vondrovec for help :). Do you have the...
Thank you so much for your expertise, Curtis! There seem to have been relatively few As-dies for Macrinus in total. The Kusthistorisches Museum in...
I have that paper but Curtis only lists the dies used for Sestertii and Aurei, but no Asses. My Sestertius is Clay obverse die No. 2, reverse die...
I adjust the size and superimpose them manually. Like in a thumb cinema :). TIF is a master in doing this digitally.
Dear Curtis, could you date this As for me? Does Macrinus feature a "medium" beard here like on my ex-Waldeck Sestertius listed in your die study...
