Lot 1267 in Ponterio's auction in January is an interesting lot-- 24 Republican unciae with wheatear. Two on top of the pile are visibly overstruck; probably...
Certainly the Ponterio grain-ear unciae seem rather highly-estimated, if that is the correct verb.. What I find more intriguing in the latest bunch of auctions...
I think hoard finds are generally quiet given their, often, illicit nature. What is sad here is a bunch of these found in the same hoard possibly have ...
... reprinted it? ... I'd guess the good material in Eckhel all found it's way into Grueber's 1910 British Museum Catalogue (at least for the Roman Republic),...
Here's a web blurb on Augustin's Dialoghi and Orisini's Familiae. I have the 1592 edition of Augustin and the 1663 (Charles Patin edition) of Orsini. As you...

Mark, Interesting note and direct conclusion ("the recent redating ... is wrong"). Not having my books to hand, I thought anyway from memory that the revised...
Hi Andrew, I haven't seen the detailed numismatic studies, but would like to, especially the hoard evidence; just once read a prosopographic innovation trying...
It is indeed an interesting topic, controversial and interwoven with the controversy over Athenian tets. I think all the main discussions are based more or...
Thanks Andrew, I've only heard of the sequence; CAE.PR. / AESILLAS Q. (Tets. only, Thessalonika mint mark) AESILLAS Q. (alone; drachms as well as tets.,...
Thanks a lot for the Bursio HS image, Dick. Agree that it doesn't look like a thunderbolt at all, and could well be a trident; or perhaps a handful of arrows...
I confused you - the issues of Caesar and Suura are indeed separate - when I referred to "Caesar and Suura" I meant the same two separate issues you refer to....
Dear Mark, Dick and list, Recognizing that this is photo is an "enlargement" of a small coin, I might consider the object as a simplified, or stylized, lyre....
Dear List, When Crawford indicates that the weight of an issue is based on a Denarius of, e.g., 4.5 grams, the ideal weight of an associated Quinarius or...
Ken, Victoriati were about 80% fine and weighed 3 scruples, so 4/5 x 3/4 indicates they were worth 3/5 of the denarius. Our knowledge to date indicates the...
Dear List, I noticed this denarius offered without a full attribution. It seems to be a Crawford 170/1 Syd. 285 and the present price is probably a bit of a...
That's a pretty good idea, Ken The denarii with the lyre below biga drawn by Cupids and conveying Venus holding sceptre, are Cr.320, dated ca.103 BC and struck...
I've done a major update of my Roman Republican coin books website, with the number of books reviewed doubled, and substantial revisions to almost all earlier...
I'm afraid the object is unlikely to be arrows or a lyre because the left two lines are curved. Arrows aren't curved and a lyre wouldn't have the left side...
True enough, Dick, but what would happen to a lyre, or bunch of arrows, when being broken across a knee ? The trouble I have with the thunderbolt idea is that...

Its a great idea. Ebay is never going to clean itself up without outside pressure. Paypal for that matter too. I bought a fake coin last year on e-bay. The...
There was a light Caduceus quadrans or sextans, I forget which, at the NY show. It's F-VF/nearly EF and cost $120. It's not rare, but in nice condition and...

The problem is not delivery. Receipt of a counterfit results in you getting burned because paypal will not refund your money if there was delivery. And there...
