Furryfrog02 Posted July 17, 2023 · Supporter Share Posted July 17, 2023 Never too hot to barbeque. 🙂 Yesterday was 90* yesterday with a heat index of 97. I made some delicious garlic black pepper chicken breasts and some roasted brussels sprouts. Today I am smoking some bacon cheddar burgers, beer brats, and cheddar brats for the tadpoles. Outside temp is 88*, feels like 90* They probably won't be ready for an hour or so but They are going to be *chef's kiss* As for T-bones.... I will share my chunky tet: Trebonianus Gallus 251-253 AD Tetradrachm Antioch Syria Obverse: AVTOK K Γ OYIB TΡEB ΓAΛΛOC CEB, laureate, draped and cuirassed bust right Reverse: ΔHMAΡX EΞOYCIAC YΠATO B, eagle standing right, head and tail left, wings spread, wreath in its beak; A between legs, SC in ex 26mm/12.03g 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your food looks good. It was 106F here today, we are not used to that heat on the coast. There is normally a sea breeze but not today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard it was hot over in Europe but I didn't realize it was THAT hot. Yuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roman Collector Posted July 18, 2023 · Patron Share Posted July 18, 2023 Lovely sestertius, @expat!! I do love me some T-Bone!! As you well know, the antoniniani of Trebonianus Gallus are plentiful but nice bronzes are not so easy to acquire. I wrote an installment of "T-Bone Tuesday" elsewhere about the PIETAS AVGG reverse types. I don't have the sestertius of the PIETAS AVGG type, but there were three different Antoniniani: Rome mint with star (no altar at Pietas's feet), mid-August to mid-November, 251 CE: Rome mint without star (no altar at Pietas's feet) mid-November, 251 to mid-July, 252 CE: Branch mint (Mediolanum??), altar at Pietas's feet, 252-253 CE: 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valentinian Posted July 18, 2023 · Member Share Posted July 18, 2023 During the time of Trebonianus Gallus (251-253) the plague raged, claiming the life of co-emperor Hostilian in late 251. Apollo was a god of health and this type APOLL SALUTARI, according to Carson "seem to refer to the menace of the great plague which was sweeping Italy at the time." 21 mm. 3.62 grams. Rome mint. RIC 32. "... must refer directly to the plague." Sear III 9627. Foss 7. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
