    Is it just me, or does Elagabalus look like a caveman?

    Nice!

    A while ago, someone posted a coin they "knew" was a caveman coin minted 10,000 BC and was made of stone with a caveman on the obv. and a wooly mammoth on the rev. He refused to believe anyone about what it was; a Ptolemaic AE.
