I assume Wise works the same as PayPal in that regard - if you select the currency/amount the recipient is going to get (which you should - to...
Strange coin - very neat! My first thought is that it has to be unofficial because of those unusual elements, but if so it's extremely well done.
It'll work differently when using browser to explore files:// disk images ... These varied results discussed are a result of how these browsers...
I could swear it had worked for me the other day in Chrome too, but then today not, which is why I started experimenting and discovered this weird...
Thanks, Sky - good to know! I've also just discovered a rather bizarre workaround for Chrome on Linux (a bug, perhaps?) - I'd be curious if this...
I know nothing of the mythology of Eros, but that is also my take on his pose here, learning on his torch (or elsewhere leaning on a pillar) -...
Interesting ... Too bad FireFox doesn't behave that way everywhere - I'm surprised that it differs by OS.
You need to read the whole thread. There are cases where clicking on the preview image does nothing, and your choices are screenshot (with...

The Romans seem to have been very fond of word/letter play, which we see in a variety of palindromes, acrostics and ligatures of overlaid letters...
There are two different bust (hair) styles for Helena, one early and one later. The eastern mints, from Heraclea on down, consistently use both...
Constantinopolis was obviously a new "goddess", a protective city tyche and personification, that came along with the renaming of Byzantium to...
That's a great coin, but the figure on the obverse is almost certainly Constantinopolis rather than Helena, despite the unusual diademed...
That's actually an error in RIC - the busts are right facing for both the Licinii (L1 RIC 48 A/B, L2 RIC 49 Γ)....
Occasionally ... Here's a P/S/G officina set from Maxentius (RIC VI Aquileia 121a, except the consular bust which is 124). The reason I...
Here's Maximinus II as caesar with a griffin on his helmet. This is RIC VI Antioch 125 dating to 309-310 AD when Maximinus was in major...
