This is an owl purchased through eBay in April. I've spent some time researching this coin, which is an imitation of the Athenian intermediate...
Gorgeous coin! Congrats!
Thank you so much! It is interesting, but perhaps not terribly unusual, for both a crowned and a helmeted portrait is issued by a mint for the...
Thank you all for posting some wonderful folles of Maurice Tiberius and Phocas. It seems that these emperors play second fiddle to Justinian I,...
I think there's more to collecting ancients than just focusing on one aspect of a particular issue, such as the Athenian owls. True, full crest...
The green deposits don't bother me in the least. I give these coins a lot of latitude due to their age. That's really an excellent example of...
Great coins! Time to get buzzed! Magnesia ad Maeandrum, Drachm, Philip III, circa 323-319 BC. [ATTACH] Amphipolis, Lysimachus, tetradrachm,...
I am currently working on the late folles of Maurice Tiberius, particularly from the turbulent last year of his reign, year 20. I have posted the...

Here's the head honcho, on the reverse. 4.29 grams. [ATTACH] Next: More Olympian gods!
Welcome to CT Ancients! I think a good start is to identify the area of greatest interest for you, in this case Roman coinage. Are you...
Sad news! I really enjoyed furryfrog02's posts. It seems to me that it is best to report an offensive post rather than responding to it and...
As beautiful as that owl is, plus the hammer price which will be stratospheric, I think I'll stick with my owl with a good portion of the crest...
I think, due to the sporadic nature of many of these owl imitations, extant examples are few. These owls, based on my observations, come out of...
If you don't mind my asking, where did you get that magnificent tetradrachm?
I wish I was an optimist on the climate crisis, but as time moves on I become more and more pessimistic that mitigation measures will be...
