I'm far behind in photographing last years additions but I'm happy to sneak a few into my gallery tonight.

My one and only Roman Gold

Vespasian's dynastic type from Rome

Vespasian's very rare dynastic type from the Tarraco mint. I looked a long time for one of these. It was fun tracking down the provenance that was not noted in the sale.

A very rare Titus RIC 1485 denarius. This one was misdescribed by the seller. A worn but a clear example.

Finally, a very rare siglos with a stylized lion reverse.

As always, any comments or corrections are always appreciated.

Thanks,
Nemo

I'm kind of late to the party here, but wow! What a haul!

The Tarraco and 'o' mint denarii are the Flavian silver stand outs! Congrats on acquiring such rarities!

And oh that gold piece! A very beautiful addition.

Thanks Jay!

David Atherton · « **Reply #308 on:** May 01, 2018, 06:32:13 pm »

Wow. This is the kind of coin that collecting ancients is all about. Truly an outstanding piece of history!

Thanks David!

I'm very unfamiliar with Athens Owl type coinage but, with the help of Altamura, I discovered this is a Athens mint tetradrachm. It was struck on a recycled, older tet, folded over twice to create a new misshapen flan.

Great page Joe. Just what I need, another type to collect!

Nemonater · « **Reply #315 on:** June 05, 2018, 08:15:00 pm »

I've been looking for an Aelius denarius for quite some time and I'm happy to have been able to pick this one up. Only 2 examples in the Reka Devnia hoard.

Excellent coin. I love the obverse portrait.

a very expressive portrait... nice catch!

Thanks for the kind words Orfew, Peter. Always appreciated.

Here's a rarity I've had for a little while but never got around to photographing. Seeing David Atherton's recent acquisition was the motivation I needed!

orfew · « **Reply #319 on:** June 06, 2018, 11:31:58 pm »

Very nice. You and David are inspiring me to find one for myself!

Nemonater · « **Reply #320 on:** June 07, 2018, 10:34:50 pm »

Thanks Orfew. Considering your recent run of rare denarii, I expect you'll find one before too long!
