Mark Antony - Denarius (Gallic mint, 43 BC) Head of Anthony on the right. - R/ Head of Caesar on the right. - Cr. 488/2 AG (g 4.12) Rude 4, 1979, lot 132. These type coins were struck when Antony was in Gaul following his defeat at Mutina in 43 BC, and was the first type struck by Antony's military mint. However this type in particular was struck following the settlement in November 43 BC between Antony, Octavian, and Lepidus, in which the Second Triumvirate was formed.

If not allowed please remove this post. Have no real luck finding one for sale on auction or for a sensible price retail. 😄

All are Antony legionary denarii with a denarius of Titus and a drachm of Trajan that came with it.

Toothpick,needle and lemon juice. Thanks 😃.

Bought this encrusted Gallienus ant for a cleaning project. First time I attempted to clean a coin and the result is quite good 😄.

Upgraded my column 😄.

Another batch of culls 😄.

Managed to win 2 migration period denarii imitations of Antoninus Pius and Marcus Aurelius. Not beautiful but quite interesting.

It allegedly was found in Belgium. I'm not sure how easy it is to fake these so it might be a fake for all I know. Bought it back when I was nooby and found it nice for display but I always felt a bit uncertain over it. It can be much newer and maybe even medieval but I always found veins of the blade giving me ancient vibes but who knows 😛

Very nice! It does seem to be somewhat in the same style. Is your socket the same as mine ?

I've checked some references and style-wise they're very close to byzantine buckles and even some examples found in Germany. Your attribution might be right and I'd guess these are from 4th-6th century..

They indeed are military! Small scallop, or pelt, plates for belts of horse harness Dated to 2nd - 3rd c AD.

Indeed this seems to be the case with most emperors after Gordian III. Also a quite ironic reverse since he's the first emperor to die in Battle 😛.

The duality of a crisis coin. Crisp obverse die and a completely battered reverse. Hard to pass Gordian III and Trajan decius coins when they're so cheap in high grade 🙃.

Managed to buy a set of 5 roman (Dura-europos type) belt buckles from Mid 2nd to Mid 3rd century. Not the flashiest type but think of the stories these things could tell if they could talk🙂. Most of the buckle tongues made of iron degraded but on some remnants still remain.
