Thanks, that’s great information @kevin McGonigal (and a very nice coin too). Very interesting point about the use of the Latin vs. Greek in the...
I recently added this big bronze of Tiberius from the last Leu auction. At 30mm, it's a very nice looking piece in hand, and I like that it's got...

RC, if your die cutter was an apprentice, he must have worked for the same guy who cut this one. A lot of the same issues going on with the...

Very nice new addition, Al. For what it's worth, I think that the portrait on my Caracalla tet from Tyre also has a strong resemblance to your...

Wow, that is a beauty Al. There must have been some skilled forgers in Alexandria, the galley is very impressive.
Nice one Doug, his dynastic issues are very interesting, that’s a great example. I also have one with a Tiberius reverse. I’d say it scores...
Great coins everyone! @Deacon Ray and @Alegandron, love the portrait-style on those Antioch tets, I’m going to have to get one of those...
