I know I've posted this before, but I saw someone else do the same thing, and they stayed true to the bust they were colorizing: [ATTACH]
I love that portrait of Titus - so lifelike. Your coin sure didn't see many hands in its time, did it?
That is one stunning coin!
A massive hoard of 1,753 Roman silver coins left behind by Vandals fleeing the invading Goths has been found in southeastern Poland....
Moorhead, MN? Well, good news: winter should be almost half over! :woot:
The large fish is a Vinctifer Comptoni from the Santana formation in Brazil, 100 million years old. The Neanderthal hand tool is from the Philip...
Since I'll jump at any chance to contribute, technically I do display the only ancient coin I have (it's a cheap common Nero), along with my...
I don't watch the news (no TV), and don't watch it online, either, so I'm blissfully ignorant about all the panic. All I'm aware of, since I'm a...
I bought this as a bronze Roman stylus, but now I've seen a listing for a Roman "medical instrument" that looks almost exactly like this, so now...
It's Nero, but not a sestertius. Just a cheap copper coin that for the life of me I can't find the attribution for, but I have it here somewhere....
I just ordered the book, solely on David's recommendation - that's good enough for me. If Mary Beard came out and said she hates ice hockey and...
I'll call this exactly what it was called by the seller: a Neanderthal hand axe. It was found in the Ebro River valley of northeastern Spain, and...

I no longer have this coin, but fell in love with the portrait at first sight. Unfortunately, Kevin's uncle with the one good eye also worked at...
I have a funny story about Freiburg. Well, it's funnier now, so many years later. On my very first night in Germany with the Army, I hopped on a...
As much as I love what you guys do, I'll never be a coin collector, but I love seeing and reading about the coins you find and the stories behind...
A post right up my alley - Vespasian is my favorite emperor, I love all things Mary Beard, I've read and reread Pliny's letters many times (and...
Not coin related, but ancient anyway - a Brazilian fossil of the extinct fish Vinctifer Comptoni, 21 inches long, 100 million years old, and I...
I hadn't even considered that (I was under the influence of the "wow" factor). I think you're right, that can't be this particular hoard....
That was me as a kid. I know there's a jar buried behind a house I used to live in. No telling what is in it, but it, too, may have a Matchbox car...
