    Added to my Gallienus animal herd, at the last vacutions i bought a 10 piece lot, TIF isn't the only one buying multiple lots, although her coins are way better than mine. I got a Doe, a deer a female deer, no drops of golden Sun, yes there are a couple bucks there too, but i did get the goat Billy, the one with the big beard.

    Mixed Gallienus coins..

    Very nice John. I like the bearded one, but they are good coins for Gallienus.

    Goats are actually fairly common surprisingly. Much more common on greek, but common enough on Romans, (especially Republicans it seems). However, thinking about modern day Italy and Greece, maybe its not surprising why they would be on ancient more.

    sure => I agree, that last winner might be a Billy-Goat? (that's an awesome coin)


    => Goat-on, brother!!

    Recently I was surprised to see a goat in the back of a pickup truck on my street. Not sure if it was mobile grazing or if it was about to become dinner.

    Actually, most of those are top-of-the line for the Gallienus animal series. Well-done!

    To further derail the thread... I did not know that goats could make such human noises! Hilarious!

    The exchange at 1:23 is particularly funny, along with the last clip... yeah...
