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

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:

https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-168220

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!

Re: Rare Vespasian column denarius added

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.

Re: Added the mother of all test cuts: Tarsos stater
« 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.

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

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

Re: Titus Judaea Capta added!
« Reply #322 on: March 18, 2021, 04:51:35 pm »
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.
