<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lordmarcovan, post: 3246822, member: 10461&quot;][USER=74968]@Orfew[/USER] had an awesome one, so I&#039;m stealing the idea.&nbsp; Y&#039;see, since I was on hiatus between August and November, there was a gap in my regular monthly giveaways, so we&#039;ll make up for it here.</p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=81808]@Aethelred[/USER] recently gave me a copy of <i><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Crimes-Elagabalus-Legacy-Decadent-Emperor/dp/1780765509/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&amp;qid=&amp;sr=" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.amazon.com/Crimes-Elagabalus-Legacy-Decadent-Emperor/dp/1780765509/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&amp;qid=&amp;sr=" rel="nofollow">The Crimes of Elagabalus</a></i>, by Martijn Icks.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/41e76TJDqzL._SX338_BO1,204,203,200_.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I had the idea of pairing that book with a <i>coin</i> of Elagabalus for my Saturnalia giveaway.&nbsp; (Neat idea, right?&nbsp; Coin/book combo package!)</p><p><br /></p><p>So I bought this Elagabalus Antioch bronze from [USER=76086]@Ken Dorney[/USER].</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>(Hey, I like that little eagle on the reverse.)</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://images.vcoins.com/product_image/52/5/6/5oHR79Dz3x9GMJr42sYszHw87pBgcZ.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Fun combo gift, right?</p><p><br /></p><p>But then - <i>uh oh! </i> I found out that my Secret Saturnalia <strike>victim</strike> - um - <i>designee -</i> is none other than one of those two guys mentioned above, which kind of threw a wrench in the plan!</p><p><br /></p><p>So let&#039;s do a <i>pre</i>-Saturnalia giveaway with this pair of items, instead.&nbsp; It&#039;s not as awesome as [USER=74968]@Orfew[/USER]&#039;s giveaway, but since somebody already won that, here&#039;s another chance for y&#039;all to get some loot.</p><p><br /></p><p>To enter, merely put the words &quot;entry post&quot; in your initial post to this thread if you&#039;re an established CoinTalk member with 50+ posts or so.&nbsp; If you are <i>not</i> an established member and are a relatively unknown newbie to the forums, that&#039;s fine, too, but I&#039;ll expect a post from you detailing why you want to enter and have the coin and the book.&nbsp; (I&#039;d rather the prize go to somebody who&#039;s either <i>been</i> around or is going to <i>stick</i> around, if you know what I mean.)</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ll draw a winner on or around Monday, December 17th, using a random number generator, as I do with my regular monthly giveaways.</p><p><br /></p><p>Speaking of which, <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/lordm-giveaway-november-2018-dip-into-my-bulk-world-coin-stash.327208/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/lordm-giveaway-november-2018-dip-into-my-bulk-world-coin-stash.327208/">November&#039;s giveaway is here</a>, if you want in on that, too.</p><p><br /></p><p>~RWS/&quot;LM&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
