David Atherton Posted May 4, 2023 · Member Share Posted May 4, 2023 The only thing I can contribute that may tangentially be on topic is this Titus Caesar denarius featuring a star and ship (prow) on the reverse. Vespasian struck the same reverse design, but I think Titus's is cooler. Titus as Caesar [Vespasian]AR Denarius, 3.35g Rome Mint, 77-78 AD Obv: T CAESAR IMP VESPASIANVS; Head of Titus, laureate, bearded, r. Rev: COS VI; Prow r.; above eight pointed star RIC 950 (R).

Furryfrog02 Posted May 5, 2023 · Supporter Share Posted May 5, 2023 Happy birthday @dougsmit! You chose the right day to enter this world! I didn't too much for this most holiest day of the year. I did buy a new lawn mower and put together this fun little Lego set that I have been siting on for a month or so. He will be coming to work with me tomorrow to spend the rest of his natural life at my desk. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Severus Alexander Posted May 5, 2023 · Supporter Share Posted May 5, 2023 (edited) A day late, sorry! But I couldn’t miss out participating in this cool nerdy thread. Jabba the Hut goes to Egypt: “It is your destiny. Join me, and together we can rule the galaxy as father and son!” Omitted scene from the Jedi Council: “Oh what the hey, let Obi Wan train the boy. How much harm can it do?” Edited May 5, 2023 by Severus Alexander photos weren't showing up 6 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
