  1. Nice addition, @filolif. Your Owl tetradrachm has a nice Athena portrait. Here are some pre-Classical Owls I picked up. My priority is on the Athena portrait, instead of the owl. πŸ™‚ Archaic: Starr Group II and V-A (Transitional):
  2. My top 5 for 2022 are: ROMA, CNG, Savoca, Nomos and Naumann. πŸ™‚
  3. Nice snake biga, @ambr0zie. I like your complete biga, and Ceres is not off-flan. Congrats to your first purchase, and thanks for sharing. πŸ™‚ I think non-horse bigas are fun. It is one of my collecting themes. Here are my two RR snake bigas.
  4. Nice coin, @Deinomenid. I picked up a similar hemidrachm last year. I like the designs on both sides of the coin. πŸ™‚ Sicily, Agrigentum. AR Hemidrachm circa 420-410, Obv: Eagle left, clutching hare in talons. Rev. Crab; below, fish r. Westermark,Coinage, 545. SNG ANS 1010. 16.00 mm, 2.03 g.
  5. A nice one with cool design, @robinjojo. Thanks for sharing. I wonder if there is any symbolic meaning for the leaf under the chariot. Or it is just a mintmark.
  6. Impressive additions, @panzerman. My favorites are #1, 6 and 15. The 8-brother (#15) design is so special.
  7. Happy New Year, David. These are wonderful pickups. My favorites are the Titus brockage, Domitilla Sestertius and the Domitian denarius.
  8. Great selections, @akeady. Congrats on a fruitful year. Your Siculo-Punic tet and Julius Ceasar denarius are my favorites.
  9. Nice 2022 additions, @Gavin Richardson. My favorites are the Tanit, Probus and Nero. Good designs. Thanks for sharing.
  10. Very cool-looking left-facing Faustina coin, RC. Thanks for sharing. I don't have a Faustina with Pietas. Only one on Lucilla instead. Lucilla AD 164-169. Rome Sestertius Γ† LVCILLA AVGVSTA, draped bust right PIETAS, S - C, Pietas standing left, holding acerrum and extending hand over lighted altar at feet to left. 31mm., 23,06g. RIC III 1755 (Marcus Aurelius).
  11. Nice additions! Great to see coins forming a series. Your coins #1, 3 and 7 are my favorites.
  12. Nice additions, @Octavius. I like your Nero bronze, and the Trajan with Danube bridge.
  13. Great pickups, @Shea19. My favorites are your coins #1, 2 and 3. I agree that the Hadrian portrait on your #3 is very nice. πŸ™‚
  14. I recently picked up a Roman provincial diassarion with Faustina Junior and snake biga design. It looks very similar to @Roman Collector's example. The coin was last auctioned at Leu during December 2021. πŸ™‚ It is great to have two of my favorite themes on one single coin. 😊
  15. Great pickups, @Jeremy. Your Glycon coins and Ptolemy I tetradrachm are my favorites. πŸ™‚
  16. Nice selections. My favorites are the Titus and rhino semis.

  19. Very nice selection of RR coins, Donna. Your #1, 4 and 5 are my favorites. Thanks for your detailed footnotes. Got to know more about the coins' backgrounds. πŸ™‚
  20. Nice selections and especially the various owls, @robinjojo. I find the Liyhan imitation owl a very interesting design. πŸ™‚
