Very nice group, RC. I don’t have a Julia Domna with the Pudicitia reverse, but I do have one of her older sister. I always thought it was a...
Q, I was referring to the coin that zumbly posted above, that one had been mine. Sorry for any confusion. :)
Great write-up and beautiful coin, @Cucumbor. I sold my nicest coin from Bosporus last year, but it ended up in a much much nicer...
Definitely the Postumus, love that portrait, great coin.
Very cool, definitely looks more like Vitellius to me, great coin. 69-70 must have been a very interesting time at the mints. Here’s my favorite...
Another of the same type as ACH and DonnaML. [ATTACH] Gordian III, Antoninianus (22 mm, 4.61 g), Rome, circa 242. IMP GORDIANVS PIVS FEL AVG...
Not a lot of luck for me today. I put in some very healthy bids, but (of course) the three lots I really wanted the most ended up blowing up, so...
Great post as usual, RC. I don’t have any coins to share, but I can share a few photos that I took of some of the Pythian Games sites when I was...
This one will always be my favorite coin of Constantine I. It is from the unrecorded period in his reign when he apparently put on 50 pounds and...
Great write-up and coin, @Parthicus. I picked up this little one at NYINC a couple of years ago. I believe that mine is also a coin of Namopad,...
Wow RC, I think you're right, looks like an obverse die match. Very similar portraits, and though it's tough to see most of the legend, I think...
Here are Constantius I and Helena, their son Constantine the Great, and grandson Constantine II. I don’t have a Crispus, but I think it’s...
I recently added two new bronzes from Antioch: an “As” of Nerva and a “semis” of Domitian. I always enjoy the portrait styles on the Antioch...
Very nice example...I have a much less attractive follis of Justin II and Sophia from Nicomedia. [ATTACH]
Nice write-up. Here’s a tet from Alexandria struck within a few months after the Great Fire. [ATTACH] Nero, Alexandria, Billon Tetradrachm, (24...
Excellent write-up, @Parthicus! And of course, a very nice new coin as well.
These two sestertii of Gordy III and Faustina II are my favorite big cheap bronzes...some wear and tear, but still nice detail on the portraits....
Wow, thanks Doug, very interesting. I tried another shot with it directly under the light source and was able to reproduce the “dark” effect on...
I love this, the black “tear” for his little brother is fantastic. I really like the famous 3-headed dog on the reverse too, great coin.
Very interesting, RC...I agree completely, I think that has to be Fides. Beautiful examples, @zumbly , I love the toning. I actually just got...
