Thank you for the information and examples. From your viewpoint, do you also think my coin looks horrid and artificial, and that you wouldn't...
A truly beautiful coin. Of course it's a keeper! I would love to have a coin showing all the tetrarchs, or an argenteus. I've been actively...
I've posted all of these very recently, so I'll leave out the footnotes this time: Roman Republic, L. [Lucius] Julius L.f. Caesar, 103 BCE, Rome...
I'm very tempted, although in my experience the costs of shipping trays and similar items from Italy or other European countries to the USA tend...
Constans (son of Constantine I), AE Centenionalis, Alexandria Mint (1st Officina) 348-350 AD. Obv. Draped and cuirassed bust left, wearing pearl...
Thanks. What a great idea.
I agree that if what I was told is true, doing that kind of thing without disclosure isn't really kosher. On the other hand, I like the way my...

No. The first one definitely has the personification of Alexandria on the reverse, with an elephant-skin headdress. The second depicts Isis,...
Thanks, everyone, for posting all your wonderful coins. (I always try to think of as many options as possible for getting people involved!) And...
She's beautiful, isn't she? She looks to me as if she might actually have been modeled after a real woman.
My Agrippa. He looks like a general to me. Agrippa (d. 12 BCE), AE As, Memorial issue struck by Caligula, 37-41 AD, Rome Mint. Obv. Head of...
What a gorgeous example! And yes, there's definitely a spherical object behind the star. What do you think it's supposed to be?
I've wanted a Roman Republican coin with a desultor on the reverse ever since I first saw an example, probably here on Coin Talk. I recently saw...
