Conder Tokens

Yet again I have come across another new theme to my numismatic collection. Not content with collecting all the twelve caesars plus Celtic, Hammered, Milled and not forgetting the biblical coinage which includes the Prutha
I'm now becoming curious with Conder Tokens this a good site for Conder Tokens I should also include that anyone interested in celtic coins should visit at chris rudd

Prutah

My interest in Biblical coins is growing by the day biblicalcoins this is a good site for learning more on Prutah coinage. Also I have just learned that Prutah is a Hebrew word which appears in the Mishna and Talmud (between the 1st century BCE and 5th century CE). A loaf of bread was worth about 10 prutot (plural). One Prutah was made up of two lepta, which was the smallest denomination minted under the Jewish kings. The Lepton (singular) is called in the King James version of the Bible - Mite. The Prutah was the most commonly minted coin of the Jewish Kings and Roman rulers of the period.

At last I made contact with a fellow numismatic who concentrates on Valerian, Gallienus, & family, both
imperial and provincial, you can visit his blog site here at hobbyblog

Fulvia Plautilla was married to Caracalla

Fulvia Plautilla. The daughter
of C. Fulvius Plautianus, story of Plautilla is, in reality a shadow
of her father's story. Plautianus was a North African who became Severus
Praetorian Prefect in ca. 197 AD. For his relationship with Severus,
he was rewarded with consular insigina, a seat in the Senate and finally
the Conslship in 203 AD shared with Geta Of note to numismatics, his
daughter was married to Caracalla in 202 AD with much pomp and ceremony.
But Plautianus began to wield too much authority, too openly, for the
comfort of certain members of the Imperial family, to include Juila
Domna and Caracalla. Caracalla invented evidence of Plautianus involvement
in a plot against him and confronted him in January 22nd 205. Even though
denning the charges, Caracalla had him executed on the spot As for Plautilla,
her manners had never won over her husband and she was banished to Lipari.
In 211 Caracall signed an order for her execution. Nasty, nasty nasty! Poor Geta
