@roman99 has seen through my ruse and recognized the twist. I turned the picture upside-down. Sure looked like a tetrastyle temple before,...
I only said the coin was old, not ancient. ;) (But since this is the Ancients forum, you can't be blamed for making that assumption. I was...
This is a real ID challenge- not a prank. Well, sort of. There is one small pranksterish twist at play. More on that later. It is to the best...
