I have no wisdom to offer on the book issue, but I just made my first visit to Andrew McCabe‘s website. Wow. What a generous resource. If you...
Wow. Coins in great shape.
Mercifully, this author is staying clear of the kind of hysterical interpretations of Revelation that have marred thoughtful--and especially...
Mine for comparison. I do not see major red flags, but I'm no expert and do not have a trained eye.[ATTACH]

I’ve posted this one before in its own thread. Here’s what seems to be an exceedingly common SOLI INVICTO from Rome, except for one thing....
