Title: My babies
Post by: nummis durensis on November 08, 2014, 12:44:46 pm: Hello to all,

my name is nummis durensis, but you can call me Rainer ;)

A collector of Roman coins since a few years. When I was young (*lol* I feel still young but I mean 25 years ago) I found the way to my first roman coins. Unfortunately I sold my first small collection later, and - of course - I still regret this.

Now I try to build up a new collection since a few years - especially the eastern denarii of Septimius Severus & Co. and coins of Plautilla and also other women.

My motto: Better I collect some coins exactly than much of more (I know this is not good english... In german I would say: "Lieber sammele ich von wenigem etwas genaues, als von vielem etwas")

During the day I am busy with german judgement, so my english is bad. :-\

Feel free to contact me and tell me when I am wrong with the description of my coins... or with others.

Regards,
Rainer

Jay, friends of B.D. are also my friends :afro: ;)

I have to re-sort my collection; also take new photos, so it will takes a while with enclosing the coins to my collection here.

The hairstyle (hair waved with free ear / Hill: Li) is only known with the Pietas-Revers. This is the first coin I see with this hairstyle-type on avers comes with the Venus Victrix on reverse.

Title: Re: My babies
Post by: curtislclay on November 21, 2018, 10:42:51 am: Plautilla: presumably a mule from an old obv. die, since the succeeding coiffure, with ear covered, had already been introduced with the preceding rev. type, PIETAS AVGG.

In my manuscript Severan Silver catalogue, which is certainly very far from complete, I only record one specimen of this mule, Ancient Auction House, eBay, 30 Dec. 2008, 2.71g. Is your coin the same or a different example?
Title: Re: My babies
Post by: nummis durensis on November 21, 2018, 11:01:25 am: Hello Curtis,

it is not the same Plautilla, because mine has 3,27 Gramm.

Thank you & best regards
Rainer
Title: Re: My babies
Post by: curtislclay on November 21, 2018, 11:54:40 am: Thanks. I couldn't tell, because half an hour ago my computer refused me access to your Gallery with the coin weight.

ARAB ADIABENIC: Rare as you say (only one spec. in Reka Devnia hoard), and interesting because of the specific reference to Septimius' victory over the Parthian vassals who had sided with Niger and attacked Roman territory.

Yes, IMP VII in Cohen must be a misreading for VIII. Cohen also mistakenly says that Victory is carrying a trophy rather than a palm branch. On your spec. that attribute is unclear. Can you see the palm fronds at the top with the coin in hand?

Your ARAR error may be unknown to me. The two spec. in my present collection show a different error, omission of the first A of ADIABENIC. One of these coins, with SEV in obv. legend, is Barry Murphy's SEV-134, now in my collection; the other is from the same rev. die but with SEVER in the obv. legend.
Title: Re: My babies
Post by: nummis durensis on November 21, 2018, 01:26:14 pm: I tried to make better fotos to compare.

And I think it is a palm and not a trophy. The "ball" behind the head of Victory seems to be a part of the wings (white color) and so the "rest" is a palm (yellow color). And this agrees with yours (SEV-134 Ex Barry P. Murphy), or not?

Thanks again for your explaining, Curtis.

Rainer

Post by: nummis durensis on December 08, 2018, 05:31:33 am: A new Sicilian...

https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-151622

Not a rarity, but a really fair coin for a only some Euro. Some deposite on Avers, but I like the horse at Reverse so much. And untouched.

Unfortunately Sicilian coins in a good quality are expensive. The others are ruins. Mostly...

https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-159772 (https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-159772)

The Legion XXII was stationed in Mainz. It defended Trier against the troops of Clodius Albinus in 195 AD, and it was also involved in the victory of Severus over Albinus on February 19, 196 in Lugdunum.

My coin is also represented on the German wikipedia page of Legio XXII. I think, this is a good pedigree ;D
