Roman Collector Posted October 17, 2023 · Patron Share Posted October 17, 2023 I am in the hospital because I -- you guessed it -- had a heart attack. I had a heart cath and everything. ☹️ I will be away from my computer for three days or so, and Faustina Friday may be delayed. So, I'm going to post my latest Faustina, a sestertius with a left facing bust and Salus, the goddess of health. Because I need some health. Post coins with Asklepios, Salus, Apollo, or any healing gods and goddesses! 11 6 18 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
