Benefactor LONGINUS Posted September 30, 2022 · Benefactor Benefactor Share Posted September 30, 2022 (edited) I thought I’d post a reference to an ancient storm which devastated a Roman fleet in 255 BC. Here are my ancient ship coins and I’d love to see yours. Check out: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_withdrawal_from_Africa_(255_BC) Also: I’m hoping for the best for folks in the path of Hurricane Ian. May you and your families come through it okay.

Nerosmyfavorite68 Posted October 1, 2022 · Member Share Posted October 1, 2022 TIBERIUS & DIVUS AUGUSTUS AR tetradrachm. Alexandria, Egypt. TIBEPIOY KAISAR SEBASTOS, laureate head right. Reverse - QEOS SEBASTOS, radiate head of Divus Augustus right. Milne 38, Koln 48. 24mm, 8.3g. Likely a sea-find, this coin is lighter than its contemporaries due to leaching of the baser metals. Ex: Incitatus coins, 2011, and their description. I purchased it mainly because I wanted a Tiberius Alexandria and the chance of having a Roman shipwreck coin. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prieure de Sion Posted October 1, 2022 · Member Share Posted October 1, 2022 Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Elagabal Denarius of the Roman Imperial Period 218/219 AD Material: Silver Diameter: 20mm Weight: 2.59g Mint: Rome Reference: RIC IV Elagabalus 188d, Rare Obverse: The right-facing draped, cuirassed bust of Elagabalus with a laurel wreath can be seen. The inscription reads: ANTONINVS PIVS FEL AVG for Antoninus Pius Felix Augustus. Reverse: You can see a ship’s galley with a helmsman and seven oarsmen. A standard and an acrostolium are depicted on the stern. There is a furling sail at the bow. The inscription reads: FELICITAS TEMP for Felicitas temporum (fortunate, successful times). I dont like ships.... I get too fast seasick. Remember my last holiday Red Sea - a diving day - all people happy diving and I am the complete day under deck at the toilet. Fantastic ^^ day. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
