It's beautiful tho

Fair enough. I like your rules. And most importantly, you like your rules.

Shower thoughts.. Is there a line in the sand to determine Alexander's Diadochi? Is it the initial successors? The successors kids? Julius Caesar? Are the Diadochi coinage valid by actual portrait or "in image off? Or Valid by name on the coinage? Or is dating sufficient enough? (while it bears Alexanders name (and maybe image), but struck in the year and region of some current leader) I feel like if this was my collecting area, I would be content with, 1. Image or in image off 2. Name on coinage .. for example, I would consider Kassander's Bronze coinage enough for me, but very hesitant of the silver. I am not sure I would fully trust the suggested mint or dating even though it probably is. If that makes sense. And to add to the thread and my thought .. an example of my latest coin Kingdom of Macedon Demetrios I Poliorketes AR Tetradrachm 306-283 BC In the name and types of Alexander III (the Great) of Macedon. Struck in Tyre mint, circa 290-286 BC. Price 3534A For the coin above, is dating and mint sufficient enough? is it accurate? (or would you like the actual portrait and name coin) is the son of Antigonus I, close enough to consider being a part of the diadochi for you?

Even beautiful on the coin itself. Which is rare.

Who knows. Interesting observations.. I only have one Roma coin, I guess I will cherish it abit more now 😛 E-Sale 104 Lot 112

I can't help ya, but those snakes are terrifying

Can I provide more context? This is fascinating. Do u have more info about this eyetem?

I always get this terrible feeling that I may have fakes in my collection and not know it. 😞

Bought for the portrait.. Kingdom of Macedon Demetrios I Poliorketes AR Tetradrachm 306-283 BC In the name and types of Alexander III (the Great) of Macedon. Struck in Tyre mint, circa 290-286 BC. Price 3534 (maybe obv die match to the Price 3534A variation here) TBH I can't tell both apart. @Kaleun96 what do u think? As usual, not my photo. EDIT: I'm leaning towards yes, what do you think?

@DonnaMLbeautiful Nero from Antioch ! I'm a fan of these

Philip ii tet. No clue on proper type or attribution, but I think it's in the realm of https://numismatics.org/pella/id/pella.philip_ii.41 This coin has insane relief, twice (maybe more) that of any Alexander I own or my Athens owl. Next; Philip II

Nice coin, I like these Type II Nero's .. "Type II Coins minted between 54 and 58 CE fall into the second type of Neronian portraiture. Type II coins still display the helmet style of hair yet now depict a more mature teenager."

Hmm I just bought a faience Ushabtis from ZURQIEH's ebay. Hope its REAL! His stuff strikes me as authentic so I wasn't really skeptical..

Wow

Those Tiberius eyes always scare me! Nice coin and portrait!

I thought about thanking incitatus numerous times. I have exchanged a few emails with him.

What's the first coin btw? Archelaos?

Fantastic post, I always love to see yours a @kirispupis Macedon coinage

I always wanna buy these because they are very affordable and great designs and metal, but.. then when I get them, they are to small! I generally stay clear, the last one I got was a Alexander iii obol to add to the collection. 9mm / 0.5g
