shanxi Posted June 19, 2022 · Supporter Share Posted June 19, 2022 (edited) I just googled father's day. There are many different dates around the world but the third Sunday in June is the most common date. Therefore I wish a happy Father's Day for fathers in more than 100 countries. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Father's_Day And here is a proud Marcus Aurelius and his children. Marcus Aurelius AR Denar, Rome Obv.: AVRELIVS CAESAR AVG PII F, bare head right Rev.: TR POT XV COS III, Pietas standing left, holding child in either arm, with two more children standing at her side. Ag, 3.42g, 17.1mm Ref.: RIC III (A.P.) 490 Edited June 19, 2022 by shanxi 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prieure de Sion Posted June 19, 2022 · Member Share Posted June 19, 2022 (edited) Father Day? Today is happy Sahara Day here. We now have 36 degrees in the shade. A wind like a hot hairdryer blowing in your face. I'm sitting at home on a Sunday. The flat is dark. You can't go out without being grilled. In the middle of summer and I have to spend Sunday in front of the PC in the "cool" room. But on the subject. I'd love to. Septimius Severus... the two children should (could) apparently represent Caracalla and Geta on the back. angry-heat.mp4 Edited June 19, 2022 by Prieure de Sion 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thenickelguy Posted June 19, 2022 · Member Share Posted June 19, 2022 Happy fathers Day to you dads and grandpops. Be grateful for your kids. Mine has a hair up her butt for the past couple years and I won't get a call again this year. I don't let it ruin all 365 days but it does irk me a bit on Fathers Day. It's her choice. I'm too old to waste my time on feeling bad and dwelling on what things should be like. I'm going out to grill a couple filet mignon on the bar B. It's a beautiful day.

JeandAcre Posted June 19, 2022 · Member Share Posted June 19, 2022 (edited) Oh No, I just reposted this, ...but whatever. Konrad II, Salian emperor, with Heinrich III as 'King of the Romans' /heir designate, 1028-1039. Denar of Speyer. ...With the usual convergence of ambitious engraving and atrocious strikes, evoking the later pennies of Henry I of England (who married a Salian, known as the Empress Maud).
