  11. Pretty sure Germanicus would have some choice words for the shit eating racists on that site😉 Just glad, most, of the people that have come over from there have a pair and stood up against those pricks... while a few tried to "just go with it" it were even being racist apologists: https://www.freestudy.com/why-not-ignore-racist-jokes/amp/ Now back to this psychopath's pops:
  12. That's Fred Rogers my friend... and if your looking for one I'm posting my old one up for sale tonight!
  13. "Damn Germans!" Or as pronounced in Latin "Germans-I-cus" (a rare image of him not screaming obscenities at the "Jackass" German barbarians) was born 15BCE and died 19CE. Cussing out the Germans the entire way. He would often tell the Germans to, "Go to hell!" or to, "Eat a bag of moldy dog shit!" Often he would point out how much their heads while wearing helmets looked like, "Dick heads", while reassuring them that their actual cocks were no larger than his little toddler son's. Whom he would often take with him on campaign. An innovator of his time (So good at telling Germans to "piss off" was he, he actually figured out a way to do it without using words!?) Simply the best Wherever he was and whatever he was doing you can bet that if their were Germans around he was hurling expletives at them like Orel Leonard Hershiser IV was hurling fast balls at the '88 world series: (This pitch in German cursing terms loosely translates to, "Your fathers dick is limp, but your mother's isn't") Who was he really? I'm sure he did other neat things. Could've been the pride of all of Rome, his holiday celebrated hundreds of years after his murder. He may have been a sure shot to becoming the next Augustus. It could be that he fathered one of the most infamous emperors of all time. We'll never really know much about him, other than that if you were German and near by, your ass was grass and he was gonna let you know it! Who knows what mixture of fowl language he would be spouting if he wasn't taken before his time? (Insert your favorites here) Didn't this have something to do with a coin? Oh yeah, and my new coin: Germanicus - As (42, Rome) - Restitution de Claude A/ GERMANICVS CAESAR TI AVG F DIVI AVG N. Tête nue de Germanicus à droite. R/ TI CLAVDIVS CAESAR AVG GERM PM TR P IMP PP. Légende autour d'un grand SC. B+ -RIC.106 Ae ; 11.31 gr ; 30 mm So please, share your gods damned coins of Germanicus or whatever the hell you'd like!

    Does Nero and Agrippina count?🤪 I almost fell like I'm cheating going back to byzantine.. Next: coin over 25mm
  19. As one who has always been drawn to the Strange.... This coin was minted by Vlad the Impaler's (Dracula's) grandpa: Poor hogsmouth. His life sounded miserable. Though that's what generations of inbreeding will do: An Arab with a freshly severed Christian's head! Bes has been around since the old kingdoms of Egypt. Dudes both a freak and he and his wife are God's of the freaky deaky: Whatever creatures that inspired the Celts to mint this coin is nightmare fodder: Of course a wheel of human legs *triskeles might've seemed normal to the Greeks... but it's not: And lastly, I just really love the way the griffin on this type looks more like a certain modern monster that rhymes with shmodshmila: I hope we get more word coins up in here. I really like this theme🥸
