    chrsmat71 I LIKE TURTLES!

    it wasn't me! :woot:

    but i do need to post a coin here, this is the first coin i ran into in which the horse appears to be "prancing", it's an unlisted coin of marcus aurelius . it's a AD not a BC, i hope that's ok.

    => man, are we now allowing flyin' horses into the mix? (that's a whole new category!!) ... how 'bout lions, are they kinda like horses?

    ;)

    ... just jokes (I love Luno, or I guess it's Pegasus, eh?) ... does anybody actually remember the Luno cartoons?
