That's a good point, that's why I don't suspect some on Biddr (with their 84,000 coins per weekend or whatever it is) of knowingly auctioning...
Thank you for this thread and for everyone who shared the other examples. I noticed these as I've been looking for some Justinian Folles (or other...
Great denarii. I had never really paid attention to that ROMA monogram behind the helmet but I love that (and always love equestrian statue...
I knew Clodius Albinus was African, but not Septimius, interesting! These are my all-time favorite coin of SS. Priapus pointing to (!) his giant...
I love those Honorius captive Solidi, @robinjojo. The detail on that one @Romancollector has to be one of the coolest I can remember seeing. I'd...
Wonderful examples! I was unaware of that Licinius, but I'll check out that article on JSTOR. And those two references absolutely belong in my...
That's a fantastic object! That weight might also be adequate for 20 AV Solidi (especially if it's lost a few grams over the centuries). Makes me...
*Please share what you think relevant. I would also love to be enlightened on info & types I may be unaware of or anything I may have gotten...
Lovely Theodosius-type AE2! It's great when the imitatives show such artistry, especially with their own unique flourishes. I always loved the...
A couple of little tricks I use for ACSearch (I always try a few different ways to search like this, since cataloging conventions are inconsistent...
Ouch, I feel for you! I would absolutely have bid like crazy on those. I would be extremely interested in a bunch of those (I see quite a few...
I love this topic! Particularly love the cabinets & other furniture. Sadly, under my current quarantine housing situation fellow members of my...
What a fantastic Valentinian II imitation! Especially for an AE4 -- is it actually as small as the original? As an enthusiast of Roman coins...
Hi Curtis, Wow, that's great feedback from your die catalog, and a very generous offer. I had actually been thinking of trying to come by and...
Right -- but that's with the "abbreviated name" obverse legend, from 194-195 onward. The tricky one is the first year issue, with the "full name"...
Here's my little 9mm, 0.65g imitative VOT & wreath type. The obverse is all I's (classic imitative!) but the rev may have some more characters,...
One more thing to love about your site! (In addition to -- for me -- the literature and FEL TEMPS)
Many thanks, that's quite helpful -- legend break on that issue is one of the things I was wondering about! I was aware of the RIC 50/Banti 20...
Fantastic Didrachm! I love how the style of very early Roman coinage is virtually indistinguishable from 4th-3rd cent. mainland Italian/Magna...
Just realized a different Curtis asked this question as well, ha ha. (Maybe I'd better try to add initials to my username to avoid confusion.) It...
Separate names with a comma.
