    One final bump to Page 1, if y'all don't mind.

    Io Saturnalia, one and all! The day has arrived!

    I'll likely do the drawing sometime Thursday afternoon (i.e., later today).

    @spirityoda - you just squeaked in under the wire, because I was about to fire up the random number generator and do the drawing! Off to do just that, right now.

    Stay tuned!

    PS- you didn't mention why you liked that one, but considering your recent thread about the gifts from @tibor, that is plain enough, so I'll let you slide on that requirement. ;)

    Maybe you'll win this one, and start a collection of them.

    But let me get back to the business of the drawing...

    OK, folks, here is the result of the random drawing. The random number generator selected #52.

    Post #52 was by... @CREATIVECRHUNTER!

    @CREATIVECRHUNTER - congratulations! It looks like you have a Widow's mite coming, unless you want to change your selection.

    I will need your shipping address. Will send you a PM shortly.

    PS- oh- and happy birthday, two days belated! (I'm a 12/28 baby, myself.)

    Now you can no longer say you've never won a drawing! :)

    The funny thing is that if I had won my choice of prize, it wouldn't technically have been my first Roman provincial coin. About a week ago, I actually acquired a Domitian provincial AE from eBay for less than the cost of a fast-food meal.

    Domitian AE Combined Image.jpg

    Domitian
    AE20 of Amphipolis, Macedonia
    81-96 A.D.
    Obverse: AYT KAIΣAP; ΔOMITIANOΣ, laureate head right
    Reverse: AMΦIΠOΛITΩN, Artemis standing left, holding long torch and branch, shield at her feet.
    Weight: 8.5g

    If anyone is lamenting their missed chance, Giveaway #51 is now launched (on the Contests forum), and includes many of the same coins. Plus some non-ancient World and US coins.
