That's an impressive Trajan sestertius! Without the porosity, I'm sure that would have been a frightfully expensive coin. Probably still wasn't...
Aside from concurring that the portrait indeed looks like Hadrian, I have nothing intelligent to add*, so I'll mention that I quite like your...
Thanks, LC. Makes me feel a tad better. LOL @ "river parasite" comment. I'm sure there was no shortage of that sort of thing in medieval...
Thank you! I suspected as much (that those were fantasies) but couldn't get anyone to confirm that for me, nor did I have much success in my...
I knew the quest for a 1588 had to be an Armada thing. :) I want a 1565, just because of my 1965 birthyear.
