Ryro Posted December 10, 2023 · Supporter Share Posted December 10, 2023 (edited) Having such a diverse collection of ancient butts to make emperors Tightass, Comadass, and queen Bootyseeya all envyass, I've been feeling the gentlemanly need to balance out my collection with some lovely "tops" to go with those bodacious "bottoms". Butt wait Ryro, do you prefer tops or bottoms?? You all may ask. Let me answer with a resounding, YES! I've been very happy to hold my athletic build B+cup Artemis for the last couple of years: Butt knowing other diverse, more detailed, and larger busts were out there, *not mine: I've been on the lookout for an image of a goddess who made her father, Zeus the king of the gods, promise that she would never have to be with a man. Despite her being as beautiful as any of the other goddesses. I am pleasantly surprised that I will put my overflowing hands around this coin in just a few short days/weeks: CAPPADOCIA. Caesarea. Trajan (98-117). Drachm. Obv : ΑΥΤΟΚΡ ΚΑΙС ΝЄΡ ΤΡΑΙΑΝΟС СЄΒ ΓЄΡΜ ΔΑΚ. Laureate and draped bust right. Rev : ΔΗΜΑΡΧ ЄΞ ΥΠΑΤO ς. Bust of Artemis left, holding spear and patera.

Æ Follis (17mm, 3.20 g, 6h). Treveri (Trier) mint, 2nd officina. Struck AD 326. Draped bust right / Empress or Salus standing facing, head left, cradling two infants in her arms; STR(pellet-in-crescent). RIC VII 483; LRBC 37. Purchased from Elkowicz May 2022 Honestly, I'm a little disappointed in my ancient forefathers for not providing me with a bustier celebration of mamories on metal. Hopefully you all can share some busts on coins to make us all proud! Edited December 10, 2023 by Ryro 9 1 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

expat Posted December 10, 2023 · Supporter Share Posted December 10, 2023 Nice addition @Ryro I was going to bid for that. My PC chose that moment to freeze, when it was operational again it had already sold. Glad it went to a loving home. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
