He stated all of their ages.

 

cool vid, i love the poem at the end.

 

Yes, this is one of my favourite videos professor Butcher has on youtube. The video makes it pretty clear how important numismatics can be in helping us work out the past.

 

Nice temples everyone. My few.

Very nice V70, awesome reverse..

 

Octavian, Crawford 540/2; CRI 315; Sydenham 1338 - 36 BC.

Advertising the yet to be built Temple of Divius Julius in the Roman Forum. I think Octavian was haggling with the local building code bureaucrats at the time complaining that your "Columns are too small, the sign exceeds neighborhood code for a building of that size, the fishmonger next door is concerned about chariot parking..."

 

Within this temple by Maxentius, I wonder whether Roma is holding Nike over a globe?

 

Temples....I got some but looking at the assortment of other coins posted I wonder if my money is good here. Show it to the money changer, its silver!!!

 

I have a few temples to be contemplated, although many of them have been shown by other members. Let's see

Struck in Ladocea, this coin of Elagabalus has Thyche in a distyle temple on the reverse. BMC # 101

 

When I posted my sole temple coin yesterday I didn't count a coin won just a few days ago. In an impressive feat of post-auction processing and shipping, it arrived today!

A Marcus Aurelius sestertius with Aedes Mercury-- it's comfortably worn like an old pair of jeans . For a nice writeup on this "Miracle of the Rain" coin, see @zumbly's post from earlier this year.

Gosh, that's shipping on steroids for you! It looks so much better in your picture, the green is great... the auction's was so desaturated (as usual).

 

Wow, Princess => that's a sweet, sweet coin (man, it has fantastic eye-appeal)

nice cockerel ... congrats (I'm very jealous)

 

Cumcumber: I really love that Romulus Follis.

 

+1

several great coins here...but dang, Q broght down some serious temple there.

 

David- love your coin, really sharp!
I picked up one recently; it's kind of a scab, but as old as it is--- I can only hope I look so good when I get that old. I'd like to think it's Vespasian, but I'm sure it's just a dream. Can't really tell what it is, but the temple is really great.
