I did already have a Republican denarius showing a biga drawn by goats (issued by C. Renius), and another showing a biga drawn by stags (issued by...
It's my understanding that when animals were sacrificed in ancient Rome, the unused remains were shared in a communal meal and/or went to the...
Here's a photo of another Roman Republican reverse depicting a voting scene, issued by L. Cassius Longinus, with a "V" clearly visible on the...
If that's what you're relying on for your assertion, it's awfully thin gruel. The fact is that there doesn't seem to be any basis for your...
Could you please point out where he suggested that retaining such an expert as an advisor is a necessity for anyone except perhaps himself, rather...
Thanks.
An example: I bought a Roman Republican denarius a few months ago that came with an old Spink tag. It had a Sydenham number on it, but no Crawford...
That's putting things very mildly! I was browsing through Conder tokens on ebay the other day, since the subject came up here, and noticed that...
I haven't bought any Probus coins in quite a while -- three coins is already more for me than I have for most emperors -- but this thread, and...

What a wonderful coin. I only wish I had one of the Zodiac coins, but I'm afraid that I don't -- unless one counts the Dioscuri as Gemini, or my...

I have four Augustus coins, including one that's the same type as yours, @ValiantKnight. If people have one Augustus coin, it tends to be that one...
I don't want to encourage this, but given that we're on page 3, and that a few people have done so anyway, I might as well post the two coins I...
That's a very nice example of the Metullus Pius Scipio, @Sulla80. The son or perhaps the grandson of the one who issued mine? And thanks for...
That's a fascinating writeup.
I didn't know that you collect Conder tokens, @Roman Collector. That's a very nice one. Complete with a shockingly risque obverse. Pro Bono...
