Another great Fasutina Friday, RC - very helpful information from Beckmann's book, which I do not have yet (maybe someday). That these may be...
An elephant goad! That does look like the object on the coin, but I doubt RIC is going to change their description. :angelic: Thanks for sharing...
I vote for the cat. Not only the length of the tail, but the way it is bending around - snaky, like a cats. Dog's tails are pretty stiff. On...
Ah! Recently I had a similar snake-wrapped-around-something from Pautalia dilemma: [ATTACH] Commodus Æ 18 (c. 177-180...
Interesting coins. I don't really seek out the non-Graeco-Roman stuff, but sometimes they come my way. There is a lot of interesting material...
A couple days ago a Valerian showed up in a lot from eBay, and it is one I already had. Although not from the Rome mint, these two do somewhat...
I feel your pain! Doug's aluminum foil technique is intriguing and I may give that a whirl, if I can find the aluminum foil. My own kitchen...

This is a really old thread, but @ValiantKnight did such a good job with the OP, I thought it deserved another go around. The other reason...
Not to be Mr. Obvious, and I'm sure you already know this - but since I didn't see it in your description - that Ptolemy II obol has a really,...
Interesting write up and coins. This one is kind of ugly, but it has interesting Gordian III eastern connections (see notes below, from...
This turned out to be a lucky eBay find (it was advertised as "Greek"). Apparently this is a late-period Roman Republic uncia issued by M....
Nice green Domitian - I've got this one: [ATTACH] Domitian Æ As (c. 92-94 A.D.) Rome Mint IMP CAES DOMIT AVG GERM COS XVI...
That's a nice coin. I'd really like to visit Trier someday... Here's a late campgate for Arcadius - very sketchy die-work and tiny flan:...
Dang. I already blew my Caracalla budget for the month :(: [ATTACH] Caracalla Æ 16 (c. 198-217 A.D.) Syria, Seleucis & Pieria Antiochia ad...
I ran into some of these interesting Sicily types when I was trolling around acsearch, etc. Kind of a similar theme, but no matches. Nice...
Yep - that looks more like Gordian to me. I think you are close, but I think I see a "V" in the reverse legend, which would be RIC 89. Here...
