Heliodromus Posted June 11, 2022 · Member Share Posted June 11, 2022 Here's a cover of Bohemian Rhapsody by a 13yr old girl on America's got talent - amazing ! Oh, a coin you say? I think this is my most recent, RIC VII Alexandria 5. It's a transitional type from when Licinius took over the Alexandrian mint after the death of Maximinus II, complete with Maximinus II's head of Serapis (normally associated with his Genio Avgvsti type), and Maximinus II's misspelling of Licinius's name: LICINNIVS. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeandAcre Posted June 12, 2022 · Member Author Share Posted June 12, 2022 Here's a duplicate --to the extant that, for anything hammered, there can be such a thing. BELGIUM. Namur. Albert III (1064-1102). Denar. Dannenberg 176. And here's a tune that I probably posted on the old forum. Except that I'm liking it again, too. Always reminds me of my home town. Especially the last year I was there, when I met all of these people from Oakland, who'd just moved there. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeandAcre Posted June 12, 2022 · Member Author Share Posted June 12, 2022 (edited) Yikes, @Constantivs, Licinius looks Reaally Mad! Looking like a combination of Nero and a certain, duly esteemed former head of state. Wouldn't want him for a next-door neighbor. Meanwhile, all the way back to Thursday, @Steve posted some of all the Yes that you need to sustain intelligent life. Thought it was time for some more of the same. First, A lead seal, French, possibly relating to the town of Chateau-Thierry; likely temp. Philippe IV (1285-1314), or a similar, later Capetian chronological neighborhood. Apparently unpublished. And this is some more Yes. I like to think of this track as the last, best crystallization of what their original musical and lyrical esthetic aesthetic was about. This one, from Youtube, sounds more like the original vinyl than either of the early 21st-century remasters. (Edit: No, I don't get a lot of traction with the video. Mostly I ignore it.)

JeandAcre Posted June 12, 2022 · Member Author Share Posted June 12, 2022 ...Yeah, @Roman Collector, I'll thank you A Lot later. No one here is holding his breath. Solid Julia Domna, though --suddenly, she looks like she didn't eat her children-- and cool evocation of Spes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryro Posted June 16, 2022 · Supporter Share Posted June 16, 2022 Roman Republican Period 167-165 B.C. Æ Unit. 22 mm. 9.43 grams. Obverse: Facing mask of Silenos with pointed ears, wearing ivy wreath. Reverse: MAKE / ΔΟΝΩΝ in two lines within oak wreath. SNG Copenhagen 1324-6; MacKay pl. III, 10; Touratsoglou, Macedonia 25.Very Fine. Dark earthen patina. "Very little is known about this attractive and interesting type. Originally attributed as an issue of the Roman D. Julius Silanus, more recent scholarship, particularly hoard analyses, have proved this untenable. The period to which it now belongs was marked by turmoil caused largely by various barbarian invasions, and coin production was sporadic at all of the Macedonian mints, and probably related to military activity. The Silenos type and oak wreaths were common local motifs used on coins in the Thraco-Macedonian region." 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
