<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Roman Collector, post: 7839790, member: 75937&quot;]Muybridge is fascinating. I first read about his work when I was a kid. One of the volumes of the Time-Life Library of Science showed Muybridge&#039;s photos and summarized his findings. They, of course, didn&#039;t mention he was arrested and later <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eadweard_Muybridge#Personal_life,_marriage,_murder,_acquittal,_paternity_and_divorce" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eadweard_Muybridge#Personal_life,_marriage,_murder,_acquittal,_paternity_and_divorce" rel="nofollow">acquitted of the killing of his wife&#039;s lover on the grounds of justifiable homicide</a>.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie100" alt=":wideyed:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> I had to read about that when [USER=19463]@dougsmit[/USER] talked about this <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/roman-republican-denarius-no-50-c-calpurnius-piso-l-f-frugi.377452/#post-7161251" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/roman-republican-denarius-no-50-c-calpurnius-piso-l-f-frugi.377452/#post-7161251">here</a> at CT!</p><p><br /></p><p>There is a moment when a horse is <i>almost</i> in that pose--clearing a fence! Granted, the rear legs are not stretched backwards during a jump. The angle of equestrian to dorsal line is off, but if you rotate the coin a few degrees either direction, it&#039;s close.&nbsp; I suspect it is the closest thing to flying that people knew for a very long time, and there&#039;s nothing else quite like that feeling, either.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1348375[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1348376[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
