IMHO the best tetartemorion is the one from Athens BUT my example has a strong claim as the worst one known to exist due to its centering only...
Theodosius was the last Roman emperor at least of the unified empire East and West. He split it between his two sons and the West fell to...
I find #2 particularly appealing in style.
Does anyone recall a couple years ago when the large lots section of some CNG electronic sales included groups of up to a hundred very high grade...
Of the coins, my favorite is the hogmouth thaler. Before I collected ancients someone gave me a 3 kreuzer and I decided then that I wanted that...
IMHO we are going too far defining details. Heroic shows the emperor pretending to be somethin above human - a hero. How that is depicted is...
Now I'm lost. Maybe I'll run into Alegandron. I'll compromise and show a drachm with Menander lightly attired for summer. I don't know if he...
As underbidder on several lots, the sellers made more from your participation than on the buyers of any coin. I can see how one could be a...

It is not half way through the month and we still have a few people who have not shared their top ten lists. This shameless bump post will show...
I collect coins but there are many coins I do not collect including anything too modern to suit my whim. The Levon tram is a bit new but is a...
I'm still on a Severan boy. Elagabalus? Severus Alexander? Perhaps Hygieia facing right holding snake?
Marcianopolis of a younger looking emperor like Severus Alexander. If the first two images were as clear as the last two, we might have a chance.
Your mistake was not so much bidding too low as bidding too late. The Pozzi sale only realized 33 francs for lot 1577. My Pozzi catalog is the...
My favorite is the turtle #4. I do not have the book you quoted but I do have the 1973 hardback sale catalog when the Ward collection was sold by...
The round one is a nice, clear Gupta-Hardaker 570 ('abundant') but I consider any of these with clear strikes of marks 4 and 5 to be special. If...
