    Welcome to this forum @Egry! Great to see you here and really really nice coin 😄

    Here's my favourite helmet of my coins - Attic helmet decorated with a mythical sea monster - SKYLLA!
  3. AncientNumis
    Ah ok you're right. Sorry - I always tend to call him Herakles which is a bit weird, even if he's Roman. Should call him Hercules in this case

    Wow! What a collection!!! Welcome @NewStyleKing, great to have members like you here 🙂. Looking forward to your posts, I don't know much about new style tets but I'm really intrigued by them so I'm sure I'll learn a lot from your posts 😄
  5. AncientNumis
    WOW! Congrats on your first aureus (as well, as of course, the birth of your daughter), looks amazing. Really nice mini write-up too 🙂 . I have no coins of Domitian to contribute, but I'm super jealous of yours 😄

    One is right, one is not... I'll leave this up for a little while before revealing answers.

    @UkrainiiVityaznice coins! My favourite is the top one - it seems really beautiful to me.
  8. AncientNumis
    Yeah! Now that I see it, Tiberius does look a lot like that. I may have guessed that as well 😂. But you weren't fooled, so congrats. Glad you enjoyed it. And I've got some other ideas for different guessing games, so those will all come in time...
  9. AncientNumis
    Haha yeah! Luckily you won't mysteriously get banned either. Xaire, welcome to this wonderful forum. So great to have you join, and really hope you enjoy it! P.S. Lovely coin too 😄

    Here are 2 more, even though one's a bit pixellated. If you get these right, then feel free to post your own fun close ups! We can make this a great game 🙂

    And 10 minutes after posting, we have a winner! @Orange JuliusCongrats 🎉. You all got the Septimius Severus, but the top one was pretty tricky. I'll get some more pics for you all to try 🙂
  12. AncientNumis
    I'm not sure, but I bet someone will be able to figure it out!
  13. AncientNumis
    Lovely! Looks like you visited some awesome places - haha I remember those large body part statues outside the Capitoline museum, that was funny.
  14. AncientNumis
    Ok, here are the answers @Etcherdude@idesofmarch01you both did pretty well! 1. Public toilets at Ostia 2. Baths of Caracalla 3. Pantheon 4. Famous Augustus Statue (Palazzo Massimo) 5. Hadrian's villa 6. Statue of Herakles (Capitoline Museum) - I edited the area in the middle to keep it SFW by the way 🤣 7. Arch Of Titus 8. Ara Pacis 9. Colosseum 10. Part of Palatine Hill I think... 11. Ostia Antica 12. Reproduction Of Marcus Aurelius Statue Outside Museum

    So, this should be my 100th post here. Which, to be honest, kind of shocks me. But, I thought, how about a fun little game? Here you're trying to guess the Roman Emperor by the close up. I'll give you 3 different ones and if you get them right, I may do some more. I don't know how difficult these are - but we'll see. Good luck!
  16. AncientNumis
    Ok, lots of promising responses here! I'm gonna sleep now - but when I wake up tomorrow I'll give you all the answers 🙂
  17. AncientNumis
    Wow, now that a lot more people know about ancient coin chat, the forum’s growing super quickly! This is exciting 🙂
  18. AncientNumis
    Welcome! Thanks for joining, I’m sure you’ll love it here and I’m excited to see what you post 😄
  19. AncientNumis
    Welcome Erin! Oof - sorry it isn’t what you thought it was but I’m glad you still like it! Really great idea to use it as a pocket piece, I’m sure lots of people will be interested by it. Hope you have a wonderful time here 🙂, this is a great place.
  20. AncientNumis
    🤣 Thanks! You should definitely go - I absolutely looooooved it, and there was great food too. 😋
  21. AncientNumis
    Great list of books! Really useful - I’ve got a few but not all of those, my favourites are those by Sear about Roman and Greek coins - I do really enjoy looking through the RR types in the first book (and it’s convinced me to start thinking about a new sub collection of RR coins 🙂) Love the coin as well - my only coin from Carthage is a simple bronze one, although i did get a good deal on it.
  22. AncientNumis
    That second book about Sestertii sure looks great, think I saw the thread about it a while back. I don’t really collect Sestertii but I have a few and am interested in them, so maybe my next coin book buy? I’ll update here if I do get it soon 🙂 ! And nice sestertius!
  23. AncientNumis
    And a few more: 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. And we’ll stop there before it becomes unlucky 🤣
  24. AncientNumis
    Ok, here are some more pics from my visit, but I’ve got a fun little game! Can any of you guess where or what these are? Most are pretty easy to be honest, but hopefully it’ll still be fun. Beware though, some are from the same sort of place and one or two aren’t super famous I’d say... 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.

    Here’s my only Byzantine coin, really common but it was extremely inexpensive so I bought it!
