It's been on my wish list for a long time. You got to love those wonderful eastern portraits.

Added a very rare (unlisted?) AR tetronkion from Syracuse with Octopus, weighing in at slightly over 0.2g! Will have to research this one.

and a fantastic AR Litra with an Octopus weighing in at just 0.65g!

Loving the detail on these fantastic tiny coins!

I'm loving these small AR fractions. Here's a fairly rare Litra with an archaic Arethusa and Σ-Y-R-A (Syracuse) on the reverse:

A new and much better picture of a Thasos Tetradrachm with Hercules reverse. It's been in my collection a long time.

https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-144975

It's a huge coin! The picture finally does the coin a bit of justice.

Added a common denarius today of Domitian, RIC 739. What I liked about it was the sad, melancholy look of Domitian's portrait.

I just added this amazing bronze age (8th-5th century BC) Italic dolphin fibula!

It's now probably the oldest thing I own. Pin is missing but it is exquisite!
