Ok, it's not fair to critique Orfew's list without getting some skin in the game. I guess the only rule here is that each figure must have an...
@Orfew most of your list makes a lot of sense. I'm curious why Nerva makes the cut. When I think of great emperors, Nerva doesn't necessarily come...
So after following this thread, I snagged a budget version of the Saladin-related coin that Ragnarok posted. It's not a beauty, but it's got a...

These were the same 12 birds reused with the same video clip over and over. By the third episode, he knew them all by name. And since they were...
I've shown this one before. Cuts are patinized, suggesting they were made in antiquity. And a formal damnatio was indeed declared against...
Never get married?
I'm getting pretty good at spotting cast fakes now. And maybe the pros around here can eyeball a coin like that instantly as fake. But dang,...
[ATTACH] Here’s a “Weary Hercules” early type for Constantine, with a reverse modeled on a popular sculptural motif, the best example of which is...
I doubt it. It is a Netflix-created series, so it's probably only available on that platform. I have Prime and did not see it there. Hmmm. Don't...
