D.R.- have you seen those ostraca - the inscribed pottery sherds? Seems like one or two of those would be a dandy addition to a "Masada" themed...
Congrats! I must've missed this post initially. The coin certainly caught my eye in your avatar, though! Now, here's what I'd like to know......
OK, now... WOW. That's what I'm talking' about!!! :nailbiting::snaphappy::woot: And back on the topic of these Miletos lions, I was always...
VK- is that a new avatar for you? I like it.
I've always thought these were neat, like a Fred Flintstone potrayal. (Well, OK, neater than that, but you get what I'm saying. I like the...
I'll grant that it's been a while since I read it, too, so I'm going by memory of my initial impressions at the time. Edit to add: apparently I'm...
Hey, @dadams- check this out. Found it in my old photos. I once owned your Vespasian, which means that somehow it went from @Aethelred to me,...
Great stuff all around. I could post "horsey" coins, but I don't think I have any ancient ones.

Hmm... so maybe my idiot's intuition about the elephant had some substance, after all.
@dougsmit- now that's totally cool. @David Atherton- I picked up Kenneth Harl's course "The Vikings", a set of audiobooks released by The Great...
I bought this cute little bronze from Gerhard Rohde on VCoins recently because I liked the portrait and the lion on it. I needed a <$25 ancient...
Looks neat. If it's fake, it's a good enough fake for me not to know any better. (Not that that's saying much.) The elephant is a bit...
Remind me to get an ice cream truck and drive it up and down the block in your neighborhood. Maybe somebody will decide to spend some other...
