I just wanted to introduce myself as a new member. Volodnya invited me by private message on CoinTalk a few weeks ago — thank you! I delayed signing up only due to my indecision about a username. I'm benhur767 on the other forum. I'm not a fan of that name, so I decided on a fresh start over here with a new username. It took me a while to decide whether to use this name, my real name, or something else. Anyway, I'm glad to be here!
Here's a coin from my collection, one that inspired my username:
Septimius Severus. AR denarius, Rome, AD 210–1; 19mm, 3.25g, 2h. BMCRE G57, CRB 44, Hill 1139 (R), RIC 336, RSC 730. Obv: SEVERVS PIVS AVG BRIT; head laureate r. Rev: VICTORIAE BRIT; Victory, half-naked, standing front, head r., holding palm in r. hand, attaching round shield to palm tree.
Ex Frederick S. Knobloch Collection
