PHILIP I
Rev is a muling of a Gordian III: VIRTVTIAVGVSTI - Hercules standing right leaning on club set on rock

 

Sweet => that's an awesome Kantheros-Club ... total winner!!

... I'm jealous (I never noticed the "club" when you've previously shown that coin)

*hot*

 

What are the things on the sides of the club on the second to last coin?

 

Ummm, knowing the Romans, those are probably lumps of enemy-skull?




=> actually, there seems to be "gnarls" on all of the clubs ... I'm assuming that they were either natural pointy-things and/or chunks of metal stuck into the club to ensure that major damage occurred "on impact"!!

yup ... nasty business

 

here's a club on a square.....

 

Great coin, C-71 ...

=> c'mon fellas => man-up and post a coin (it's a team sport!!)

I know you dawgs are holdin' onto a fist full o' club-coins!! (please cough 'em up!!)

 

SIDE-NOTE => I'm gonna crash tonight, for tomorrow is a brand new day ..

=> tomorrow I am helping my wife run the annual Ladies Open Golf Tournament at our local course ...

AMAZINGLY => my "job" is to sit in a lawn chair on Hole #3 and watch to see if anybody manages to get a hole-in-one on our insanely difficult Par-3 (I hope they do => they win an awesome donated Quad, if they do manage to get a hole in one!!)

Oh, and I also "have to" sit and sell beer out of a big huge frosty tub ... no seriously!!

Oh, and I also have to get a photo of each team as they go past my station ...

SUMMARY =>

a) sit in lawn-chair
b) watch young chicks play golf
c) drink and sell beer
d) take photos of this whole thingy!!

=> cha-fricken-ching!!

 

is your wife currently taking any other applications for any other open beer drinking, sitting, watching postions? if so i'll send my resume. i will also send several letters of reference extolling my beer drinking and sitting abilities.

 

All right you ole cavemen.

 

beer good....coins good....ugggggg.
