What's his name? Do you have other Rotties?
How old is your Rottweiler now and how old was he/she in that picture?
Yes, but Historia Augusta seems to say that LV was adopted by Hadrian... which isn't correct and which was one of the many confusing (and wrong)...
Looks like Pixlr has introduced a new version but the old version is still there. I don't know which version you are using but will give some...
Apologies, Greg and everyone-- I misunderstood Historia Augusta and it took many re-readings to understand the chapter. Actually, I still don't...
Your coin is ~1500 years too new for us to help :D (this is the Ancients Board). Start a new thread on the Error Coins board. Click the link and...
Still no luck-- just more puzzles. Asklepios's father, Apollo Iatrus, is pictured on some coins leaning on a serpent-entwined staff, his other...

I wonder how many people are madly combing archives, Vcoins, and Numsibids to get their very own example? :D
Yes he was! In Historia Augusta the wag of an author hints that Hadrian chose Aelius because of his looks, and that he came to regret the choice....
You've expressed this sentiment before. I fear that saying it again is going to have the opposite effect of what you desire. If the responses...
It has everything you could hope for in the type: great style, centering, strike, surfaces, preservation, and toning. Congratulations!!
My understanding (well... assumption :)) is the headdress connotes pharaonic power. The particular style of headdress seen on this coin's reverse...
Another fantastic coin and writeup! Thanks, Jochen!
I don't have a native pharaonic issue but I have an issue depicting a pharaoh... Thanks to @Okidoki for telling me about this eBay coin! I'd...
That's a very popular game :D.
