Message:: [QUOTE="rrdenarius, post: 2628378, member: 75525"]My wife and I made another yarn and coin trip today. This one was to the other side of Houston, about 50 miles. I was not expecting to find much after our trip to the NYINC last week, but ... I did see an interesting tray of anonymous follis (someone please clue me into the correct plural for follis). They were offered by a dealer who often has a tray or two of ancient coins, but seldom coins I want. Today he had two interesting trays, one with the coins below and a second with hammered 8 reals. I went for the Byzantine ones. Some of them almost had noses.[ATTACH=full]577886[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]577887[/ATTACH] PS - how many of you know the definition of nimbate? I forgot and had to look up the answer."Nimb" is an obsolete form of the noun, but not a verb, except that the obsolete "nimbated", like the commoner "nimbate", means "furnished with a nimbus". It is sometimes preferred by art-historians, as sounding more technical than halo.wikipedia[/QUOTE]
