Couple more coins arrived today. I did my last purchase a day or two ago and now have enough lower quality coins of enough emperors that I can begin saving and making only 1 or 2 purchases a month.
I do however need a little help with this one. I believe it is a Caracalla from Stobi but I can't find a decide attribution.


From the same seller I also picked up this coin which I want to show off. He had it listed as unattributed and I recognized the bust right away. And I know it is beat up but it is my first Claudius and he can be hard to find cheap.


I am pretty sure it is:
Claudius AE As.
Obverse: TI CLAVDIVS CAESAR AVG P M TR IMP, bare head left
Reverse: S-C across field, Minerva standing right, brandishing spear and holding shield on left arm.
Also personal life good news as you all know my term for this job is up end of June. Turns out that they are currently attempting to create a new full time permenant position and should it go through the process I was strongly encouraged to apply. It is by no means 100% and probably not even 75% but my boss said 'the right people are pushing it forward'. So send good thoughts my way.
