    Thank you for an interesting post, @Limes ! I looked over my denarii and I found only one with a noticeable gash. It would never cross my mind to attempt a repair 😱!

    Great Geta coin and post, @thenickelguy! Mine also features a youthful Geta.

    LONGINUS posted a topic in Greek

    It’s been a while since I’ve posted in the Greek forum — I’ve been maintaining a rather strict Roman Imperial presence. My apologies for not visiting more often. Anyway, I thought I’d post my latest Seleucid creature poster. My latest is the panther in the center. Do you have any additions to your menageries? I’d love to see them!

    I love it when I hear about a Brother collector, @Ryro acquiring a great coin.

    Great topic for discussion, @Salomons Cat! I know I’ve told the story many times on the coin forums about how my first ancients were a boxed collection of coins from the Holy Land that I ordered from an ad in the back of a Biblical Archeology magazine. I wasn’t shopping for coins. I was going through a difficult time in my life and I was shopping for Holy relics. Anyway — life got a whole lot better for me and 18 years later I’m still seeking a Biblical connection. Here are my primary collecting areas.

    My ”On this Day in Ancient Rome” website reminded me. Let’s see your Jupiter coins.

    Beautiful coin, @expat! I was fortunate to find this one being offered by a great dealer.

    Thanks again for this post, @robinjojo! — I was about to embark on a sestertius acquisition quest!

    Great post. It’s still an amazing coin!
  11. LONGINUS
    I think it’s a nice coin! I’m with @hotwheelsearl and opine for horn silver.

    That’s an interesting site, @Sulla80! Those coins remind me of ones created by children in a history museum program.

    Congratulations on your interesting acquisition and post, @hotwheelsearl — but I’m suddenly having a craving for molasses cookies. 😁

    In commemoration I’ve chosen to feature all of my ship related coins. Please feel free to post your nautical related coins.

    Excellent post, @Roman Collector — your research is amazing.

    Excellent post, @Ryro ! — I love anniversaries 😉 !

    I chose 8/24 which is the traditional anniversary of the Pompeii disaster to post my latest acquisition. A coin with a reverse featuring Mount Argaeus has been on my “I gotta’ get one of those list” ever since I saw a post by @David Atherton, back in 2017. His featured a Helios type figure standing on the summit of the volcano and a Flavian emperor on the obverse, however. Please post your volcanos and your favorite Gordian III coins.

    Thank you for the interesting news clip, @Numisnewbie — we can honor the event again in October 👍 ! I wouldn’t be surprised if many of the traditional dates we attribute to ancient events are inaccurate.
  20. LONGINUS
    Please feel free to post your coins of the period or any coins related to natural disasters.

    That’s a great collection and a beautiful coin montage, @DCCR! Thanks for posting.

    August 23 is the anniversary of the death of Gnaeus Julius Agricola in 93 AD. I’ve chosen today to post my first Celtic coin from Britain and a poster featuring the general and one of his forts. I’d love to see your Celtic coins from Britain and your Roman coins of the period.

    I feel your pain. I’m still on the lookout for a coin that I ordered over 4 weeks ago 📆
  24. LONGINUS
    It could be held up in the mail, @Topcat7. I had a coin show up seven months after I ordered it. It was a total surprise because I’d almost forgotten about it. The reason I didn’t ask for a refund is because I thought I could have been at fault and misplaced it when it came in. International mail carriers can be very frustrating to work with.

    Something or someone must have broken his concentration.
