Nice acquisition, @Finn235 These LRB denominations confuse me - can you provide more information on the "fraction" part of your description? I...
I really like the Septimius Severus September idea. In an effort to match the OP - I think mine is a limes, or maybe just "officially" ugly....
Thanks for the info Octarinetabellatchitichix, - unfortunately my "not in RIC" is not in RIC because it is a fake. Ah the perils of bottom-feeding!
Well darn! :( I hadn't gotten around to checking the obverse legend yet. Thanks for pointing this out - I'd rather know the truth! I'm just...
Just in the mail, this common denarius of Severus Alexander - this is RIC 238 I believe, IOVI PROPVGNATORI where Jupiter is holding an eagle....
Very interesting indeed. Thank you for sharing it.
O thank you @Parthicus for taking the trouble to share this information! This is so helpful - it clears up my attribution and I don't feel I'm...

It could be. I've been staring at this a lot and I can't see "prongs" for a radiate crown on my example, but the wear and thick patina make this...
A very informative and interesting coin and write-up, @Ocatarinetabellatchitchix I appreciate all the hoard information too. Nice work. Here...
Alas, poor Ovid. Poetry is indeed a dangerous occupation; if the politicians don't get you (Augustus, Stalin), then there's this: "We Poets in...
I too hear the call of The Ugly! And as for Byzantine countermarks, the bulk of my collection is made up from one ugly eBay win from a year ago -...
Interesting lot - looks like a Nero AE in the group photo (bottom right corner). As to the Roman Republic denarius, I'd expertly agree it is...
Thank you for that info - that's a great site you linked.
That OP is truly an exceptional specimen. Lovely strike and hard to find this nice, with both faces intact on the countermark. Nice find, @Black...
My guess is that anything actually found "at the Wall" would be considered archaeologically significant and probably not for sale (legally, that...
