Thanks!
12-hour rule. Back to sycretistic deities, like this coin of Serapis (a conflation of Osiris and the Apis bull, also linked to Hades and Zeus,...
Which just goes to show the power of pareidolia.
That sounds really great. Thank you! Pardon my ignorance, but do I assume correctly that the diobols are something different from the silver...
I did wonder what that was growing out of your dolphin's head. A teratoma? A small mammal? A rat, perhaps? A wolf? A pig?
It's real, all right! [ATTACH]
A beautiful coin, @Only a Poor Old Man. (I've never seen this thread before, because it was last active before I joined this forum.) My one...

Some coins with trophies or otherwise celebrating (or commemorating) military victories: Roman Republic, M Fovri L.f. Philus, AR Denarius 119...

Look at the title of the thread or a few of the previous 1300 or so posts in it!
I've never really thought about the most common Roman coin reverse. For the Republic, it was probably the Dioscuri, or Victory (or some other...
Thanks! About 3 years. Although I bought my very first one, issued by Ti. Veturius, back in the 1980s, at a coin show. Something about it appealed...
