Cool! I started an artifacts megathread some time ago. Here is a Roman bronze bracelet that's actually a prize option in my giveaway, should you...
Looks like a fun lot.
Oh, lovely! Well done. I've never had a Larissa, but thought this pseudo-Rhodian Macedonian drachm I used to own rather resembled her. (Even...
