Finally finished my bachelors degree up, am working on my masters, and am planning to get back into the coin collecting game. I always was a fan of the late Roman Empire, so here is a Valentinian I siliqua from the Rome mint. Grade: VF+/EF- black patina, flan crack, small area of damage on obverse 11 o'clock Material: Silver Weight: 1.91 g Diameter: 19 mm Obverse: D N VALENTINIANVS P F AVG, pearl-diademed, draped and cuirassed bust to right Reverse: VRBS ROMA / R P, Roma seated left holding reversed spear and Victory on globe Feel free to post your Late Roman siliquae. @SIliquae !
@Magnus Maximus Welcome back M.M. A great 'pick-up', too. I especially like the clear image and the central strike. (The little bit of 'knocking around' it has had enhances it IMHO). And priced right, too. A great addition toy your Siliqua collection. Congrats. Oh, and Congrats on finishing the degree, too. Good luck with the 'Masters'. Here is my Constantius II Siliqua And one of Valens, too
Thank Grahame! Feel free to post your Siliquae as well. Is it bad that the civil engineering degree was easier than the MLS degree?!
