I have always been somewhat skeptical, because the story resembles so closely the legendary fate of Theseus's wife and son.
Wow, you've been a member only about a month and they put you in charge of discipline already. Congratulations! Seriously, sometimes it's OK to...
Speaking of countries with names as printed on postage stamps that look mysterious to an English speaker, there's another obvious example that I...
Four coins that I think are relevant. I've left in the footnotes; as usual, my apologies in advance for their length. 1. Here's a denarius issued...
A beautiful example, @Curtisimo! And a wonderful write-up. Many of the ones I've seen have the "figure" on top of the temple missing or cut off....
I meant, which day are you planning to go to the NYINC?

12-hour rule (although I'm surprised that no one had a silphium to post. Didn't we just have a thread about them?) Next: an elephant with someone...
I agree completely with the recommendation of the Ancient Artifacts group. Bron Lipkin's antiquities website is also enormously informative, with...
