Great list. You had me at “ithyphallic satyr.”
I enjoyed learning about knife coins and what makes them so special. Thanks for this eclectic list!
I don’t know enough about the coinage of Domitian to have an informed comment. But number 4’s portrait really had great eye appeal for me. Kudos...
So how hard can that be? It's not like it's rocket science. Oh, wait... :bookworm: Congrats on everything! And good for you for treating yourself!
I still need a Severus II. That's a beauty at a great price.
Looks like a Constans hut coin from Trier to me. First officina. TRP in the exergue. Those "balls" at the end of the tree limb are pretty...
