Ancient Forum's Picture the Poster

LOL, Since I know you talk to folks in FLORIDA all the time, I am not EVEN going to rub it in about our North Carolina weather... WE are only having a temp of 24 here!

So you dudes have snow as well? (I always have visions of golfing in the Carolina's, year-round!!)

 

A little in the winter 2" sometimes 4" for the winter. Usually gone in a couple days... It is 76F / 24C here today... was pulling your chain

 

Celsius is what the cool kids in the north call it

 

Yeah, I grew up on Centigrade... Just hard for me to say Celsius!

 

My bad ... I grew-up with Fahrenheit

It has taken me 20 years to get used to saying "Celsius" (so centigrade threw me for a sec) ... you rock, Gandalf

Oh, but then I realized that you were merely bragging about your sweet summer temperatures, so I figured, f-him!!

 

Sorry, I don't have any medieval coins, YET!
This is a great thread! What a handsome group of gentlemen and fine ladies you are! And youthful!!! Collecting ancients can keep you young I guess. Anyway, all I have to post is a selfie of myself and my newest ancients.

 

You're 62 years old?

... did you slab your face as well? (plastic surgery?)

Hey, I don't usually say this to another fella (especially a man of the cloth), but you look marvelous!!

 

Thank you, your very kind! I still get carded when I go to saloons occasionally with family (I don't drink. I'm the designated driver). Yes, I have my grandfathers head of hair. My brother has my dads hair which is no hair---he's bald.

 

With my wife coming from the north, and myself from the mountains in the west, we're still shocked we can walk around in t-shirts in NC into November... Actually enjoyed a nice day at the zoo today




And a random coin to make it legit:

French Feudal, Burgandy
Hugh IV, r. 1212-1278
Dijon Mint, AR Denier, 18.17mm x 0.8 grams
Obv.: +VGO BVRGVNDIE, DVX between two lines on an anille
Rev.: + DIVIONENSIS, cross within circle, with a clover in the first and third quarters, whose tail comes from the center of the cross

 

Cool to see some more pics posted here! Here's some of me and mrs. chrsmat71 and a place called angel mounds this summer. it's in Evansville Indiana, I live about 100 miles form there. it's kind of interesting that you can visit a "medieval" settlement in southern Indiana. I guess this place was occupied in starting in the 12the century. here's the sign...






here's what they think it looked like "back in the day"...




here's the large central mound...



here's myself and mrs. chrsmat71 in a replica home...



lots of cool artifacts on display, but wish these cats had coins.

 

Seleucids do look like bottle caps

 

Over here in Europe we simply say "degrees", "Grad", etc. for that ° doo-dad. I mean, what other degrees are there, temperature wise?

Had 22 to 24 in Paris on Saturday and Sunday. No jacket required outside. Well, here at home and today it is ... nothing to write home about.

*Edit*

 

I more than agree guys... However, the US still uses an antiquated system called Fahrenheit that creates different reference points for any type of measurements. Besides, North Americans have such a HUGE difference in temperatures across the Continent. Personally, when I lived in Europe, I found that Europe does not have the extremes in weather as we have in North America. It was nice to know that you would not have hugh T-storms, Tornados, Hurricanes, El Ninos, etc. on the frequency that we "enjoy".

 

Woah, you look different than I imagined. I don't know why, but I always figured you to be the type who rocked a cool moustache. Don't know why, I just did.

 

I had one up until last week. It comes and goes. My wife prefers me with a moustache because without it she thinks I look younger than her! LOL!

 

Awesome! You have a Biblical look!

I hope you don't take that other than in the highest complimentary way it was intended!

 

Ugliness??? You can't be referring to the fine looking young man in the photo! Interesting coin! Interesting cats!

 

Beautiful coins! Thank you for your efforts to debug the computers of America!
