Very curious what the avatar was. In todays day and age, lots of hate speech gets to hide under the umbrella of “politics” and give people a pass...
Went back after the gift shop purchases and asked a docent at the museum as my interest was quite piqued after these replies here. They said it’s...
Just off the high of visiting the Borghese Museum in Rome and came across this quite confusing portrait of Hadrian. He appears to be sporting an...
Pliny the Elder warned us about sending Roman coins to china….
Here’s the full listing image. Ended up hammering for €160 which is way less than I expected so perhaps others had the same concern. The listing...

I’ve read before on here and I 100% believe it: Leu house bids people up to their max pre bid shortly prior to lot close but still early enough to...

Absolutely incredible! I hope you will sell instructions at some point!
[ATTACH] Two years on and I still am not over losing this one. Think this will always be my grail, and I hope whoever bought it sees my post and...
