Diocletian quiz

In my defense, I've missed over 90% of everything all of you have said this year as I've only been here now for less than 5 weeks.

What was yesterday???

 

Doug,
For me it was interesting, but too hard. I read a couple of your posts and still do not know the answer. I felt like the time my P Chem prof was explaining how quantum mechanics described the location of Helium atom electorns.


If I read your blog right, none of the above.

 

I like these tests.

Think this all kicked off when I was sleeping. Wouldn't be the first test I've missed because I was out.

Well done @seth77 !

 

This was a good test, a little difficult for those who are not focused on Late Romans, but a straight forward one.
This coded Iovi et Hercvli series is interesting and to answer this quiz required a minimum of research.

 

Sorry for being in a bad mood. seth77 gave the answer first and I posted the image of that coin as well as the third in the series. We each came here for a different reason. I have learned a lot about coins from posts of others here but the only posts that seem to draw a crowd are about things like hams and pop culture.

 

While you're correct - those do draw the largest crowds, I think that's just because they're a little more approachable to everyone. I rather enjoy the specialist threads. My collecting habits outside of ancients are incredibly specialized and about three posters on the forum appreciate it but do not actively collect the same stuff. One comes close and shares my passion.

 

Specialist threads show a glimpse into how vast the field of numismatics really is. Also, for me and my SPQR ants research, writing these occasional posts here helps me put more order into my thoughts and in the way I approach this research. People don't seem to flock to these posts but that is ok because time and interest are finite resources and everyone must optimize their usage.

 

I totally agree with Doug ... ummm, but perhaps a picture of a random ham may have increased this thread's draw?



... just jokes, mentor

 

Pork products aren't necessary for every post but a cartoon might help

 

You could have lifted a pig from a Republican denarius and got this thread favorited.
