I understand what you mean here, and I think the kneeling figures on Roman coins are often, perhaps even usually, friends. But never enemies,...
Great information about the other reliefs and the inscription, thanks for sharing! Yes, that convinces me that must be Philip kneeling. The term...
Ooh, an Alexandrian Tetradrachm of Vitellius, very nice!
If you search on ACSearch by including only the first two digits of the weight, e.g., 2.7, it will show results for any coins described as...
Great coin! I like all these early Augustus Denarii, but this one has an especially interesting history tied to it. At some point I'd love to...
Great coin and great Pegasos on the reverse. I don't have too many, but I love this period for the combination of Gallic & Roman style & symbols,...
Very interesting! Well done recognizing that it wasn't the usual variant from the pre-Actian period. Especially interesting that the object in...
Very interesting about the Byzantine pentanummi still showing that building! I'd forgotten about that, though I have some examples (mostly low...
Collecting Roman Provincials, one ends up with lots of Tyches and lots of temples, but not always (or even often) together. Here is one more...
I would expect it to be M.H. (Musée Hermitage) instead of H.M. if they used initials for it. They did deaccession & sell a bunch of Greek coins,...
Nice one! Scarce mint, Magnetes (in Thessaly). You can even read enough legend to clearly confirm that is indeed the correct mint: MAΓN and maybe...
Here's a base metal cast Denarius: Geta obverse with the reverse of his mother, Julia Domna's Juno Denarius -- which would be really cool if...
If you do, please let me know how it goes. I've never contacted him directly, but he clearly has a long-standing interest in the history of...
Well, on this theme, here's a Caligula Vesta AE As that I bought and then sold ~10 years ago. Weird sandy (artificial?) patina, but never ended up...
I got a broken link from that one, but this may be the page you meant: https://archaeopresspublishing.com/ojs/index.php/koinon/issue/view/63...
What a great little Amisos chouette! I figure that's the right description, but people still sometimes call it eagle rather than owl (that's how...
I don't have one of my own yet, but those little Akragas Hemidrachms are great. You didn't reference Westermark (the primary die study for all 5th...
You can find it on the CNG website. Just remember to add 20% (buyer fee) + whatever they paid to have it encapsulated...
Beautiful example! I really like AE Quadrans. I'd love to have one of these Caligula's that nice! Note: Your coin previously sold at CNG e...
I still have most of my first purchases. From the mid 1980s to early 1990s (about 8 -12 years old), I used to save up all year and buy one or...
