As a fan of everything 348-353AD, the FEL TEMP galley is a big chunk of what I follow on a regular basis. Here are some interesting galleys for...
Hello all, This is the October sale with special coins, like a very nice Maiorina of Valentinian II, an irregular Licinius II BEATA, a scarce...
Probus is known for multiple bust types and legends, many which although unusual for the era, are quite usual for Probus. This legend is quite...
For some reason, all types of Tacitus with bust left are rather rare. So after I lost a bidding war for a lovely VF one 3 months ago, I decided to...
I developed quite a liking for Ambianum coins. This one is not really rare, but it has a beautiful portrait: MAGNENTIUS AE2 21mm 4.21g Maiorina...
I'm posting this coin in connection with an interesting and very plausible theory about the anepigraphics of Rome usually connected to...
