    One of the most distinctive galleys I've seen on a Roman coin. Great find!

    Great portrait and wonderful galley!

    Hey, do these Roman galleys remind anyone else of a baby bassinet?

    Now I will never be able to look at this coin in the same way again.....:oops:

    Actually, it was pretty funny TIF! :)
    (and I always wonder just how you do those incredible things with pictures).

    Oh, snap! I love that type, want some kind of ship-themed ancient, and had my eye on a Hadrian like this not long ago, but forum consensus was that it was overpriced, so I didn't buy it.

    Yours has perfect toning, too!

    If you ever tire of it... ;)

    Thank you, LordM. Yes, lovely old toning and from an 'Old-Time' collection with those quaint little notes.
    It made up a little for all the coins I wanted to buy, but where I was not successful.

    OH, I forgot to mention that the the Buffet Lunch offered by the auction house was excellent as well. So, nearly empty hands, but a very satisfying meal!
