I'd certainly like to know about any other ancient coins that depict leopards/"panthers" with spots, as on my coin and in the ancient mosaics to...
The article discusses the panther as a legendary creature rather than a real animal, but is poorly sourced and actually addresses only the...
But there's no such thing as a "panther" in the Old World that isn't a leopard! So I don't understand what you could mean.
When people describe ancient coins depicting "panthers," I suspect that they don't think very much about the fact that the panther is not a...
I never emote! I'm always cold, logical, and emotionless, like all lawyers.
I'm kind of skeptical that these people actually read the submissions they're required to solicit, as opposed to having their minds already made...
I am continually amazed by the wonderful coins that people here have.

I remember that in 1963, when I was 8, and even though I wasn't really an American coin collector, I used to go occasionally to the local bank...
I think I've changed my mind about the prizewinner!
I know I shouldn't feel like I have to respond every time someone comes along and says something that's either inaccurate or incomprehensible....
Thanks. So there was at least one other obverse die of Diadumenian used under Statius Longinus with an Artemis reverse. It not only has a...
