As someone who really like large bronzes I have been fascinated by those from this city. The largest ones were struck ca. reign of Septimius to...
Beautiful coin - I had a worn example but sold it - how I regret that decision. This is a beauty.
P.S. is this the one sold on Heritage - there was an early Geta that went for low four figures but I don’t think this is it but I’m not sure. The...
I had one but the obverse was so badly tooled that I sent it back. This is a wonderful find - I’ve been looking for an untooled one for two...
It is quite a coincidence that the type that I was going to make the center piece of a planned article on rarity is the coin that you purchased....

The Genius is an IMPX type - very rare - I have one with the same reverse die. Oddly enough it is the same IMP X coin as that previously posted by...

I have a post card of the coin somewhere from the BM - with both sides.
Pax is rare for Elagabalus - the doubling on the reverse inscription is interesting - wonder why the figure is not doubled as well? Blake
I agree! I had one that took three or four years - then I’m looking through a book on the Limdgren collection of Greek bronzes and there it is....
P.S. Mytilene struck coins that looked very much like this but the inscription would be different.
I purchased about 150 coins of Troas in a group lot and not a single coin was from Illium/Troy. I also had trouble with finding sources - the CNG...
