Feels like I bought this one ages ago, but it arrived today. Can't complain, everything is slow.

Year 2 Jewish War prutah.

Awesome coins Jay!

Thank guys.

Added a fragment of a Roman Constitutio, similar to a military diploma.

Thanks to Stultus for the translation. I believe it makes it early 2nd century:

It pairs nicely with my other military diploma from the time of Domitian:

Added a Dynamite Domitian Dupondius today:

A common type that is usually well travelled and worn. This one is in wonderful condition with the exception of a tiny hole above Domitian's head. No evidence of it being suspended for any period of time as the hole is still relatively round. A curious part of the coins history!

Enjoy!

Added a new Vespasian denarius today with rostral column. Nice looking coin of a scarce type:

https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-168454

I haven't researched this one much, but I imagine this is the colossus that stood outside the Flavian Amphitheater that was converted from a statue of Nero to Sol.

A nice piece, Jay

Congratulation

Great looking Vespasian.

Also looking back and i missed that Dynamite Domitian Dupondius. I think you described it perfectly

It is gorgeous!

Jay GT4 · « **Reply #316 on:** February 25, 2021, 02:32:54 pm »

Thanks Blayne!

I have wanted one of these Tarsos staters for a very long time. This one came up at auction and was very reasonably priced. Glad I finally got one. These usually have severe test cuts that go right through the coin, but this one missed all major devices. Nice Athena and Baal.

https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-168498

Nice hefty coin coming in at over 10g and 23mm!

shanxi · « **Reply #317 on:** February 25, 2021, 03:10:08 pm »

Nice coin. I like the way Athena looks at the test cut.

okidoki · « **Reply #318 on:** February 25, 2021, 03:53:47 pm »

Hi Jay,

a nice Cut

Jay GT4 · « **Reply #319 on:** February 27, 2021, 08:25:12 am »

Thanks guys, I can't put this coin down! It's my precious

even though it is outside of my collecting area

Stkp · « **Reply #320 on:** February 27, 2021, 04:15:19 pm »

It is a very nice coin. Stkp

Hi Jay,

I'm a bit late, but... great "Tarsos stater"...

Thanks guys!

Fresh from the post, a common but much sought after Judaea Capta As of Titus minted in Lugdunum.

https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-169080

Interesting to note that this coin was minted 8 years after the conquest of Judaea. A reminder of Titus military prowess and his place as successor to Vespasian.

It's getting more difficult to find these types that aren't tooled.

David Atherton · « **Reply #323 on:** March 18, 2021, 05:23:12 pm »

Very nice Jay! A bit rarer than the corresponding Vespasian issue.

Jay GT4 · « **Reply #324 on:** March 18, 2021, 07:13:45 pm »

Thanks David!
