    This is one of my favourite films set in the ancient world. However, it should be remembered this is not history but rather a fictionalised telling of Josephus's Masada narrative. Even so, it's a great movie with a lot of witty dialogue. Peter O'toole's Silva is one of the best roles of his career.

    That's another beauty, Nemo! I was fortunate to obtain (a fractional) one also. This was purchased from one of my favorite dealers in Holy Land region coinage—Shick Coins in Israel.
