  13. Thank you, just a reminder that there is nothing new under the sun, and being creatures with a horrible care for memory, we need to be smacked daily with history, to repeat that beneficial and avoid the wrong.
  14. How about this provincial portrait of Nero? I think its a great silver portrait without breaking the bank for a Denarius. Also, coins of Nero from Antioch at this time were 80(ish)% silver, per Richard McAlee in his book The Coins of Roman Antioch. NERO AR silver tetradrachm. Antioch, regnal year 10, Caesarian year 112 (63-64 AD). NERWNOS KAISAROS SEBASTOU, laureate bust right, aegis on shoulder. Reverse - Eagle standing left on thunderbolt, palm to right, BIP. I to left. RPC 4189, Prieur 90. 25mm, 15.0g.

  20. This is neat... https://www.livescience.com/archaeology/romans/2000-year-old-bullet-found-with-julius-caesars-name-on-it-was-likely-used-in-civil-war
  21. Is normal to update a die and remove or add things? Assuming it is a die match
  22. I agree in every aspect, mostly. Also the image of the actor does not convince me, the guy looks whiter then a ghost. To your first point, it reminds me just how much I wish they renewed HBO's Rome.. this was a well done show in style, and capturing the era. I was satisfied with it.
  23. "S".. Alexander III Tetradrachm, Side, Turkey 325 BC - 320 BC Price; 2949
