    The portrait of Apollo on this drachm of Clazomenae has always looked so familiar. I finally realized why. Post your coins with portraits that resemble celebrities!

    This one always reminded me of Rodrigo Santoro playing Xerxes:

    Yeah, it is makeup, excess trash hanging off his face, and a movie: but, it inspired me to get the Obol from SteveX6, (and, of course, it is a cool archaic style head of Apollo!!!)

    If only! I did see him in an airport once and embarrassingly first thought to myself, "That woman looks a lot like Rod Stewart..."
