Well, if nobody else is gonna take the Pontos lead, then I may as well help myself to severed heads, eh?

 

ahaha ... well, hopefully lil' Z is treatin' mini-stevex6 with some respect?!



ummm, errr, or whatever

 

who invited friday night stevex6 to the party????

that a lovely coin stevex, the blue toning is gorgeous! some great coin scores for you this week!

 

Thanks chrsmat ... oh, and thanks for the photo (it really captures my mood)

Ummm, I guess all I have left is to post any "non-chariot" AR RR examples ... because nobody likes the boring ol' chariot examples, right?

ooowww, that might hit a nerve?

 

Just for that I'm going to post a boring chariot example...

 

Nah, I'll play nice. Here's a non-boring, non-chariot denarius...

 

anyway ... here are a few of my non-chariot AR RR examples for ya ...

 

That's awesome - what's on it?

 

Oh, and I may as well slum-it and post my lone "chariot example"

 

Wow Steve! I guess I didn't realize how many RR types you had!

 

ROMAN REPUBLIC. Cn. Cornelius Lentulus Marcellinus.
AR Denarius, Spanish Mint, ca. 76-75 B.C.
Obv.: Diademed, draped and bearded bust of the Genius of the Roman People facing right, scepter over shoulder, "G P R" above.
Rev.: Globe between wreathed scepter and rudder, "EX - S C" in field, "CN LEN Q" below.
Reference: Cr. 393/1a; Syd. 752.

 

Maybe we were hoping you would forget you cornered the market on those.

Sinope version:


Steve may have the best one but I have the worst, a fourree.


It is a great type. Should we mention that the horseman only has one hand/arm? I prefer examples with a clear space between his body an the horse but none really are clear on the matter, Bing's may have a stump??? He is the first recorded user of a prosthetic device. Did anyone wonder why he held the head and the sword in the same hand?

 

You guy are definitely a bunch of party animals......but sometimes I just can't make "Heads" or "Tails" over here . ....you all seem to get excited from one end to the other......

 

Haha!

 

Here, this might help...

Head/Tail...

Heh, has she no respect for the international coinman of mystery she married?

I'm actually curious to know what she's been reading, but well, if you like muggy weather and a fantastic food scene, we're your place. We're also a great jumping board for exploring the region, but don't go too far up north... some guy sent an armada there and the natives are getting antsy .
