Wonderful coins, all. If I were to buy an example, I, too, would want a complete, readable "CAESAR" legend, and to be able to see both the...
Here's another example of the common Agrippa as with Neptune on the reverse, issued by Caligula. I think it's a perfectly nice coin with a clear...
Great coin and write-up, @Jochen1. Here's another example of the M. Volteius Erymanthian boar, together with my own brief write-up focusing on the...
Hard for me to believe it's been 12 years since I was there. Maybe I'll go back to Italy someday. Knock on wood. (I'm supposed to get my first...
I thought the photo I posted in the OP of the faience 26th Dynasty reclining lion was rather blurry, which I found annoying since it's one of my...

Not sure what you mean, since this is from a month ago, but @NewStyleKing did post an Athenian tet in response with a gorgon in the reverse right...
Thank you. I shouldn't even have bothered responding, but I didn't like the aspersions cast on my integrity. I have to prove to him that...
Thanks so much, Ryro. I accept your apology completely. You're one of my favorite posters too. And believe me, I understand the effects of going...
I'm not convicting anyone. Just pointing out that you have a bad habit of calling people liars. I won't respond to you again, so don't bother. You...
Right, I'm not a lawyer. FYI, I was admitted to the Bar of the State of New York in November 1979. I'm not interested in proving my bona fides to...

@thejewk, @Jochen1, and @Limes, thanks to all of you for your help!
Also the thousands of statues and other works of art looted by the Romans from Greece and elsewhere? What makes them Italy's cultural heritage as...
