I'm surpised at the price you got them at. We're they uncleaned? Definently looks like a lot of fun! Also, I'm sure this thread would get more attention if it was moved to the ancients forum.

 

Agreed. @Siberian Man - Maybe a moderator could move the topic there?

 

I got all of these coins for $32 only!

 

Roman Empire.
Caesar Crispus (317-326). This coin was minted in Siscia Mint at 320 A.C.

 

Roman Empire.
Emperor Constans (337-350).
Face value: centenionalis. Such coins were released at 342-348 A.C.

 

That’s a good price, even for coins in lower grades. Some people may not collect coins in lower grades, but I have several, and I find the real value is in prompting me to identify and learn a lot about a variety of coins I might have remained ignorant of.

 

I agree with you, Sir. Any Roman coin - is a small but great piece of the World History. And it doesn't matter - in higher or lower grade it. When I hold such coin in my palm, I try to imagine all people who held it many centuries ago.

 

Roman Empire.
Emperor Constans (337-350).
Arles Mint (France).

 

This one is from Thessalonica, you can make out the mintmark - SMTSB

 

To get this many attributable coins at less than a dollar apiece is really quite remarkable. Someone was having a "get these out of here" clearance fit.

I read the mint mark as <gamma>SIS (probably with dots fore and aft), which to me looks like Siscia.
