Ryro Posted June 5, 2022 · Supporter Share Posted June 5, 2022 (edited) I had a bunch of fun doing a similar write up on another site with the star of the showing being hot dog neck Vespasian.. They took the whole thread down due to the use of the word boner... looks like THEY pulled a boner! Of course if we are making fun of ole Vespy. Why did honky tonk Vespasian have crap on his nose? He was looking for love in all the wrong places: Not to be confused with sneezing Caracalla. And one can only hope Jupiter was just cold from visiting his brother in the ocean when he posed for this: Edited June 5, 2022 by Ryro 9 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Severus Alexander Posted June 7, 2022 · Supporter Share Posted June 7, 2022 That bulgy weiner Vespasian portrait slays me, @Ryro!! 🤣 Many of you have seen my lowly worm Phocas, the height of Byzantine portraiture: In Carthage they believed Justin II was the spitting image of Mick Jagger (this is a half siliqua) : Here's my favourite die break: The later Bosporan Kingdom portraits often give a chuckle too.  Here's Rhescuporis VI (308-342) with his buddy Constantine the Great.  I kind of doubt the latter approved the portrait before production time: Fun thread!  Salut!    5 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roman Collector Posted June 7, 2022 · Patron Share Posted June 7, 2022 The reverse of this sestertius of Faustina II issued under her father (RIC 1386b) supposedly depicts "Venus Genetrix standing left, holding apple and child in swaddling clothes." I dunno ... that doesn't look like an apple to me. In fact, it's clear that it's a cylindrical object with roundish logo on the side, a heap of whipped cream, and a straw. It can be nothing other than the Unicorn Frappucino!! Â Â 6 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heliodromus Posted June 7, 2022 · Member Author Share Posted June 7, 2022 Quote Venus Genetrix standing left, holding apple Frappucino and child in swaddling clothes Maybe she should be paying attention to the child and not her Frappucino... something not quite right with that kid!
