Mucius Scaevola

At the end Zeno Pop is a dealer, that's partly the reason why there are always so many coins of him in the auctions.

Thanks! Yes, the wear is quite okay, the surface looks way better in hand with the golden toning but I prefer showing the truth when zoomed in 😉 Exactly, it's nearly complete and I don't want to pay 2000+ for a better type ☺️ got it for a fair price after having it on my vcoins list for like 2 weeks

My latest ancient is this "Vercingetorix" denarius. Moneyer issues of Imperatorial Rome. L. Hostilius Saserna. 48 BC. AR Denarius (19mm, 3.66 g) Rome mint. Head of Gallic captive (Vercingetorix?) right; Gallic shield to left / Two warriors in galloping biga right: one driving, holding whip and reins, and the other, facing backward, holding shield and brandishing spear. Crawford 448/2a; CRI 18; Sydenham 952; Hostilia 2; RBW 1569.

Yeah, you're probably right 😉

I usually don't buy slabbed coins, as people tend to pay more for the slabs and I want to touch my coins. Here was an absolute exception I made, because I know the seller from another forum and the price (1200,-) was really good for that shape. It was mounted, but that's no problem for me as they did not cut the edge. It will probably stay alone, without any slabbed friend.

I like the detailled conversation I had with @antwerpen2306 in this thread 🙃😂

@Prieure de Sion hier werden sie geholfen 🙃

Here's a good example for an intact Campana relief. The style is pretty much the same. Of course it looks finer due to the surface, but at the end it's not. It is dated 30bc to 20ad

1st century or older which is, even to me, logical if it's a Campana relief. There are more examples, but the style from the one shanxi posted, was later often copied by the Romans, in the 1st century and even before that. Forget Pompeii for a moment, it's what one of the preowners thought or got told. No @Prieure de Sion but I like to hear that! 😉

It doesn't matter. If everyone would do the same, you can just delete the forum because it's going to be useless. Sometimes you'll get the answer you want and sometimes you won't. Don't take it personally, this is how forums are. Maybe you get an useful answer after a week. But deleting pictures or posts is ridiculous.

Si señor, but I already posted it here and I think you even liked it 😂

Oh, that was this coin cleaning thread? So @leeshielyou got your answers and then you start deleting or editing the thread? Well..that's a garbage move.

What happened here?😂

I think that, as Rolf is quite some kind of an expert, I leave the dating to him 😉 16x7cm

Tyche would be a possibility, yes. But I think it will stay a mystery forever 🙃
