I was pleased to arrive home this week and find a package from FORVM waiting for me.

I bought Price, Dattari and the Randazzo Hoard, in the recent FORVM shop sale.

Price and Dattari have been on my wish list for some time and I used the sale to justify this indulgence.

Shipping was fast and the contents were carefully packaged with the knowledge and experience that books shipped to Australia often take a beating over the long journey and arrive in worse condition than most second hand books!

Thanks to Joe and FORVM!

Look what came in the mail yesterday!  Thanks so much Joe, the T-shirt is amazing and goes well with the collection.  It is an "American" Medium which fits more like a Large in the rest of the world ;D but it's great.  Order yours today, they're die matched!

Yesterday I noticed this coin pop up on FAC. I knew I wanted it. Unfortunately I was having some issue with logging in and could not complete the purchase. Fortunately, the coin was still available when I talked to Joe this morning. He was able to fix my login issues and helped me purchase the coin. My sincere thanks to Joe for all of his help.

This coin will take a pride of place in my 12 Caesars collection. I know that it has some issues, but I thought that the portraits were quite attractive. It is an upgrade over the Caligula denarius I already own. I also like that this is an ex CNG coin and an Ex: Forum Ancient Coins coin.







SH86638. Silver denarius, RIC I 16 (R2, Rome), RSC I 2, Lyon 167, BnF II 21, BMCRE I 17, cf. SRCV I 1807 (aureus), VF, toned, attractive portraits, bumps and marks, some pitting, lamination defects, ex jewelry, Lugdunum (Lyon, France) mint, weight 3.443g, maximum diameter 18.2mm, die axis 180o, 2nd emission, 37 - 38 A.D.; obverse C CAESAR AVG GERM P M TR POT (counterclockwise from lower right), laureate head of Caligula right; reverse DIVVS AVG PATER PATRIAE (counterclockwise from lower right), radiate head of Divus Augustus right; ex Classical Numismatic Group, e-auction 69 (23 July 2003), lot 90

From Forum.
Electrum hekte. Phokaia (Foca, Turkey) mint, c. 521 - 478 B.C.
2.529g, 10.1mm, 0o,
A splendid archaic style that, from a French perspective (or anybody familiar with Auriol), one can recognize into the Auriol-type coins (region of Marseilles founded by .... Phoceans).

Thanks @Nemonater

The portraits really do stand out on this coin. I know the surfaces are rough but I was aiming for a Gaius denarius in vf or better and I found it here on Forum. Thanks to Joe and Forvm.
