Thanks Simon, I've filled out the form. It was really only one lot I was after so frustrating that it just closed without accepting my bid. I was willing to go several incriments higher.

Glad you got something. The Naville auction for me was horrible. The bid timing was all over the place. I thought it might be my connection but when I tried the Biga auction running at the same time it was flawless. Went back to Naville and again, it went from "going once" to "Sold". Sometimes it would just hang there for seconds with nothing happening. Tried on my laptop, phone and tablet, all the same. Unfortunately, several of my bids weren't executed even though they were higher than the winning bid. I didn't get anything. Anyone else experience this?

You could start with the "other" assassin named Brutus. Junius Brutus Albinus. His coins are quite affordable. He was instrumental at getting Caesar to the Senate meeting that day.

Congrats! I've always liked the Jupiter reverse type. Lovely portrait. At least the scratches are in the field and not on the devices.

They loved their head gear didn't they?

I really like the inscription style of the Bactrian coins

A hard fought battle!

What then to do with Cavino's so called Paduans? Some try to pass them off as original ancients. Does that mean they should be destroyed too? I for one would love an original Cavino or even an early after cast. I don't see anything wrong with what the auction houses are doing.

Great eye David, as always! Sometimes when it comes to extreme rarities you have to take what you can get. This one arrived today and was an absolute bargain! https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pid=178410 T CAESAR VESPASIAN IMP IIII PON TR POT II COS II Laureate head right PAX AVGVSTI SC Pax standing left with branch and cornucopiae Rome 1 July 72-June 30, 73 CE 21.57g RIC 496 (R3) An extremely rare coin not illustrated in the RIC plates, only citing one example in the Museo Nazionale Roma. None on acsearch or in Forum's galleries. Dare I say second known example? The entire series from 72 is very rare, this perhaps being the rarest.

Why not post this on Forum too? Or did I just miss it?

Great left facing coins everyone. Here's a very rare one in my collection IMP TITVS CAES VESPASIAN AVG PM Laureate head left TR P VIIII IMP XIIII COS VII P P Ceres seated left with corn ears, poppy and torch Rome, after July 1, 79 CE 2.87g RIC 23 (R3) Ex-Biga Online auction 7, lot 768 This is the third known example of an extremely rare type. One from the Harry Sneh collection sold at the Gemini IX sale, 8 January, lot 333 (RIC reference coin, no image). The second example is found in the David Atherton collection. This being the 3rd, shares both obverse and reverse dies with the Atherton coin.

Outstanding!

It is what it is... Mark Antony & Julius Caesar portrait denarius M ANTON IMP R P C Bare head of Mark Antony right, bearded, lituus behind CAESAR DIC Wreathed head of Caesar right, capis behind Gaul, November 43 BC Imperators 123, Crawford 488/2, Sydenham 1166, Cohen 3, BMCRR Gaul 55, 57 3.05g Rare!

Excellent denarius David! I only have one Domitian PONT denarius that comes from our friend: IMP CAES DOMITANVS AVG PONT Laureate head right TR P COS VII DES VIII P P Seat, draped, above, a winged thunderbolt placed horizontally. Rome 81 CE 2.87g RIC 40 (R2) Ex-Lucernae Catawiki auction May 2019; Ex-A. Short Collection

Great portraits! I think this is one of the best portraits of a young Domitian IMP CAES DOMITIANVS AVG P M Laureate head right COS VII DES VIII P P Dolphin coiled round anchor Rome 81 A.D. (3rd group) 3.3g RIC 26 (R), RSC 63 Ex-Enrico collection Extra fine portrait!

Excellent win! I was watching it as well. You got a bargain!

A fascinating history. Thanks for sharing

That's the Nero I was talking about. Reminds me of Seinfeld when George wants to get the security guard a chair😀

Nice one! I just got this one last month. It's a later electrum piece. Ionia, Phokaia Female head to left; below neck, seal swimming left. Quadripartite incuse square. Hekte, Electrum 2.48g Circa 478-387 BCE Bodenstedt 90. Boston 1922. SNG von Aulock 2127 Ex-Calgary coin

The one bad review he has is for this coin! I've never had an issue with this seller. Doesn't mean a bad coin couldn't slip through but no alarm bells for me.

Looks like a perfectly legitimate over cleaned, worn coin to me.

Can you post better pics?

It wasn't planned this way but this week I received two coins from Titus, both with Securitas on the reverse. First, a fairly rare Dupondius from Lugdunum minted in 77-78 CE. Part of a huge issue of bronze coinage, this is one of the rarities. Only two in Forum galleries, one from the Atherton collection. RIC 1265 (R) https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pid=177268 T CAES IMP AVG F TR P COS VI CENSOR Laureate head right SECVRITAS AVGVSTI SC Securitas seated right, head resting on raised arm, with sceptre; to right alter. Lugdunum, 77-78 CE 11.03g RIC 1265 Vespasian (R) Ex-C. Euston from an old mid 20th century German collection with original envelope Nice glossy brown patina with a handsome portrait. The second, the matching denarius from 75 CE minted in Rome. This one even rarer. RIC 784 (R2). This coin is often misattributed as the very common contemporary Pax reverse. The giveaway is the position of the deities head resting in her hand. The depiction must be taken from a cult statue of the goddess as even Nero depicted her in the same pose on his bronze. https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pid=177768 T CAESAR IMP VESPASIAN Laureate head right PONTIF TR P COS IIII Securitas seated left, head resting on raised arm Rome, 75 CE 2.68g Feel free to post your Securitas or matching coins in different metals.
