Ancients => Try to impress me on my birthday

Turn it 180degrees and it looks like a pistol on the Rev... ah, those crafty ancients, they had much more technology than we ever dreamed of. Just the other day I was reading about the Roman Air Force...

Great coin. This is only the second time I have seen the bare headed Vespasian. The other was on Forvm.

 

Wow. Great find! He looks so naked without a laurel wreath.

 

I actually purchased the coin from a fellow Forvm member, so it may indeed be the same coin!

 

Happy Birthday!!

 

As Chris rightly identified that is known as a wizard staff. Once the staff is taller than your head your become a full wizard. Speaking as a full wizard myself it is a long and arduous task to meet your goal. Many fall short but the reward far surpasses the requirement.

A word of warning to all those who attempt. Mcdonalds tends to be more forgiving than Burger King when you walk in with your staff.

 

Here's my wizard staff. Wanna party?

​

 

I still love my answer better: You can create a Wizard Staff WHILE you make a SPUD GUN!!! Spud guns are only to be made when on the journey of a Wizard Staff. Raining spuds down upon your neighbors while following the Wizard Path is an awesome feeling!!! Be sure to use a lot of duct-tape at the ignition chamber...or use PVC tubing!

 

I like the "pipe for scale."

 

COOL AVATAR, @iamtiberius ...

 

Thanks; cropping images is a hoot.

 

Honestly, that would be a very cool piece of jewelry. (tm). Ok, now I just Trademarked it so I own ALL exclusive rights for the past 2600 years, and all future rights. Any sales of all Attican Tets, owls, jewelry, etc., I demand a 25% royalty.

Joking, of course... but an Awesome Avatar...

 

Take a look at ancientcreations.com - based out of Vegas. They have 2 physical shops in the Venetian and Caesar's Palace. If you're ever in Vegas and feel like being offended; drop by. Ridiculously overpriced jewelry with buffed coins; nothing like ruining a perfectly decent ancient.

 

Actually, have been to the Shop! You are absolutely correct!!!

 

It was before I was really in to Ancients (but had a few), and I was offended then... because of the bastardization on History.

 

In their defense, I think their target is uniformity. Buff the coin until it matches the luster of the setting. Ha.

 

I don't care what their letter of guarantee says, most of the silver coins on that ancientcreations site look like cast replicas. Some of the more common bronze looks authentic.

 

=> awesome TIF ... you're our designated yoohoo driver!!


=> hey, I call shotgun!!

 

These photos were taken today, while I was walking with my two best friends (Buster & Larry)
