Here are two of my Hadrian: A sestertius honoring the legions serving in Syria, and a denarius showing a Liberalitas scene. The sestertius,...
Well, I see you are still pursuing the ladies, Mat. That is a nice example. I remember I was once offered the same type, but declined to buy it...
Even if I no longer have all the time I would like to actively participate in the Forum, I too have noticed how lively the interest in and...

Thank you Beef and Dave for your comments. I read them with much interest. They allow me to better understand and appreciate the intricacies of...
