this is probably my favorite ancient coin collector's website...

who among us is so humble as to picture an Ides of March denarius obverse side up?

    I had never seen that “Eid Mar” denarius, very nice, as I am assembling denarius around the assassination. Thanks!

    Just curious if you intend to add a gold aureus or silver denarius judea capta ?

    If there were a SmEagle Coin Museum, I would make a point to visit some day. Truly exceptional pieces! Thanks for sharing.

    The owner of that website is a friend of mine and both a passionate collector and photographer: his high resolution images show coins in a level of detail rarely seen (and that I can't come close to matching).

    I'd also be remiss without a shameless plug for my own ancients showcase website, out of date for some new purchases and woefully behind on writeups but still a decent representation of the "story" I'm hoping to tell through my collection:

    Glad you posted that link, because your collection is the one I think of first, when it comes to ancient eyecandy.

    What an incredible Judaea Capta aureus, so much history, and with that unmistakable Boscoreale look.
    Congratulations!

    If I may, I"ll throw in my denarius, as an illustration of the Judaea Capta motif in silver.

    That’s a sweet Judaea Capta denarius, too! I think the one I used to have was only a VG.

    Thanks @RSP ! It's the result of about 15 years of serious focus on ancients.
