You are kind; yes, that is I, preparing for a staff meeting several months ago....
The Whitting book looks mint! I enjoy mine as well. And I know what you mean about Head's HN. I own a 1911 edition, but always consult the...
My wife often quotes extensively from Shakespeare - this among them - I am amazed at how much her mind holds. I can at least keep up with her in...
Nope! :-)
Maybe there is hope for my wife yet. But the dogs won't recognize me.....
OK, here is the original! To borrow from Macbeth… “It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing.” Well,...

That's why I am drawn to Byz. silver. Finding them is more of a challenge. Of course, so also are high quality bronzes!
All my Byzantine coins are “comfort purchases”, or to put it more accurately, comfort “rentals”, for, at best, I will only be able to keep them...
Other volumes in this Oxford series may interest Cointalk members. Those currently in our library are: AUTHOR Carney, Elizabeth Donnelly,...
Great coins and discussions! Here are a few of mine. All coins left to right, and by rows. And too late have I realized that I failed to include...
No. Only a philhellene. But I majored in Latin and ancient Greek as an undergrad and graduate student, and I work in a research library devoted to...
