That sounds absolutely lovely. All I get outside my bedroom window on the sill are standard NYC pigeons. More than once, Ziggy has seen one...
Wonderful coins, @TIF. I'm sorry that happened to your kitty. Ziggy's vet has suggested that I should start thinking about giving him saline...
@Alegandron, @Carausius, @ominus1, don't you all have examples of the Antestius coin with the puppy dog? I'd love to see them here, along with any...
@Broucheion, that's great. I didn't realize that there's a Roman Egyptian Nomos coin showing a domestic cat, although it certainly makes sense....
Non- mammals are fine! The Romans certainly liked puns.
From scrolling through the examples on acsearch, all I can say is "more than one, but certainly less than half." Either it's a tall conical cap or...
Instead of starting a separate thread, I'll post my new "Roman Republican No. 57" as part of this thread, since it fits the theme. It's a type...

Here is my only Max Thrax denarius: [ATTACH] And, for the second time in a few minutes, my only Max Thrax sestertius: [ATTACH]
That's a wonderful sestertius! Here are two sestertii I own -- one of Faustina II with six children and one of Maximinus Thrax -- that were...
A lovely portrait! Out of all my Faustina II's, I have only one truly youthful portrait -- it's not in great condition, especially the reverse,...
Roman Republic, C. [Caius/Gaius] Calpurnius Piso L.f. [son of Lucius] caesare [son-in-law of Cicero, married to Tullia], AR Denarius, 67-59 BCE,...
I'm sure I saw them, but it's difficult to absorb all the wonderful information people post, until one has a coin oneself that makes it relevant!
I'm so very sorry for your loss. What a lovable, cuddly-looking cat Percival was. My beloved orange tabby Ziggy, who was 16 in March -- and has...
