Not sure I see the difference. They are die linked, so both were produced by the same authority, public or private. Although it really makes no...
That specimen, which was in a Harlan Berk buy or bid sale a few years back, is grossly, heavily tooled - to the point that I'm not sure I can...
Perhaps, but I think it's more likely because the coins would be so easily damaged.
Doug, I can see why you'd be skeptical - lead is a seriously neglected metal. But it was actually quite widely used in the ancient world. Fourrees...
Your threads annoy me endlessly. But I make the best of it, dive in, and try to have fun. So you should take it as a compliment. :yes:

Why are you assuming I want to learn Hebrew?
That is some bad Latin right there. Google translate isn't the best for most languages, Latin in particular. But it is great for French - they use...
I have yet to be fully convinced in any direction as well, I said the Dioskouroi because it would be the easiest to explain. I'm glad you brought...
That's why I answered your question. Yes, but my actual majors were archaeology and history. Classical studies was merely a minor, so I didn't...
Castor and Pollux were two people, thus two faces. The inversion is merely an interesting artistic interpretation of their brotherhood. I...
