I know the reverse of my valerian ii is considered one of the better types/very scarce. Especially over the goat.

Not the best surfaces but alot of his suck.

A friend of mine put together a presentation on how the different Roman emperors died.

It went something like this: Assassinated, assassinated, assassinated, assassinated, assassinated, natural causes, assassinated, assassinated, assassinated, struck by lighting, assassinated, assassinated....

You get the idea.
