Some parts of the world calls em water pigs, the other part calls them hippopotamus. Tomato-tomAto. I'm just being a smart ass. I enjoy your posts
Cool posts everyone!! Love the OP and I really like Steve's 'sensitive pig' coin Since the 'milestones' of coin or post are not applicable to me, I'll just post My follis of Diocletian struck at Heraclea:
Congrats Smojo, nice coin. I actually have a diocletion Concordia , cant post to many threads, as I only have around 15 ancients so far.Haven't id'ed yet. Its pretty crystalized, and hard to read,
@old49er IMP CC VAL DIOCLETIANVS AVG; CONCORDIA MILITVM ; with the XXI value.... Struck at Cyzicus, RIC 306 ?
@TIF I'm trying to wake up enough to make sense. I just stayed up to late. The Greek alphabet on keypad is there an app for that? I'd like to be able to add a full attribute.

LOL, I remember when 15 is all I had. I'm nearing 70 or so not real sure. Been busy & haven't been getting my new ones entered as I should be doing. Still have some inbound that I was hoping would come today. You'll get the 49er, just think of them as Lays potato chips.
Whoa => I just realized that this cool thread is a Diocletian thread ... => well, I only have one cute example, so I like to let it walk around whenever there is a curtain-call ... yah, that baby is one of my all-time favourites (it is one of my very first ancient purchases and I fall in love all over again whenever I post it)
Nice portrait of him, did you notice a lot of this type of coin has flan cracks? mine has the same problem, but hey great coin steve.
