This thread is not sexy enough. Here is a “Coin” that keeps showing up in eBay. This one is advertised as “Roman Silver Coin Unknown Old Rique...
I know they were struck in Antioch as well, so there seems to be an Eastern emphasis. But I don't know enough about the context to speak...
A wonderful coin, Warren, both for its rarity and for its strike. Here's a radiate Constantine from Heraclea. Not a great rarity, but it's...

[ATTACH] [ATTACH] I’ve had this coin for several years and have never been able to properly identify it. It’s a Crispus votive coin, with vows for...
Welcome! A good first ancient. I believe Maximian was the Western Augustus, with Diocletian and Galerius ruling in the East. I don’t think...
