Very nice acquisition! I was planning on bidding, as I like these ex-Dattari coins, and don't have an Agathodaemon yet, but decided not to at the...
That's a great coin, and interesting date arrangement, as you say. Quite nice for a Diocletian -- the quality control had suffered in recent...
That's a nice one! Here's one of mine. We can interpret the reverse legends on these, ORIENS AVG, as meaning something like, "A New Morning in...
I agree with @mikebell , this is a pretty nice coin. These dove / wreath bronzes from Sikyon published by Warren are very popular and can be very...
Very interesting coin! This isn't really my area so I could miss something, but I don't see any in ACSearch. In RIC / OCRE, I think this bust...
That is a superb coin, @cmezner ! I have been studying the Clay Collection offerings since it went live. There are several coins that I hope will...
An impressive collection cataloging the varieties of Lugdunum mint! The number of official issues of Probus is staggering, and totally...
Mine are mostly Provincials: Thessaly, Nero as Apollo playing kithara: RPC 1439.25: https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/coins/1/1439 [IMG] Thessaly,...
I suspect this Priapus would qualify. Priapus is very proud, pointing at his Phallus, while Septimius stares and smiles approvingly from the...
@Jochen1 -- many thanks for the update! I may have mentioned before, but I think of my collection of coins as a sort of annotated bibliography of...
I think it's probably not the Jerusalem walls, but there was a special reason, at least in Hendin's reading for a certain period (he may have...
One of my favorite coins is a Mazaios Tarsus Stater (but of the lion-bull type without city walls). [ATTACH] This is the only coin I've ever...
Great coin! I was actually looking up the specific question you ask about -- when did Hendin discuss the "walls of Jerusalem" hypothesis. I...
Well done figuring out the answer! Roman Provincial Coinage [RPC] had dramatically thinned out by this time (there were more Imperial mints &...
Both. It's a Roman Provincial, but I don't recognize the obverse inscription, and the reverse photo is too blurry for me to read. The reverse is...
Yes, definitely get the 6th if you only get one. It's new, so I haven't seen many used copies of the 6th edition yet. Anything substantially below...
I've got a number of Lyre / Kithara coins... (I do recall there are other instruments on ancient coins -- but not which ones. All that comes to...
That is a great coin, @cmezner ! Apologies for the digression, but the Alexandria Griffins are a special series. The wheel indicates it's not just...
Here's a Philip II AR Antoninianus from my "captives" collection (ex Adrian Lang Collection): [ATTACH] Philip II AR Antoninianus (23mm, 3.80g,...
Nice Dupondius! Here's my favorite Imperial coin of Faustina Jr. I bought this one because the portrait struck me as exceptionally beautiful &...
