<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ryro, post: 3293092, member: 91461&quot;]Thanks [USER=87404]@Justin Lee[/USER]! I used to get to write<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie102" alt=":writer:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> much more often and am a nut when it comes to history<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie101" alt=":woot:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Excellent point [USER=77704]@panzerman[/USER]. And even more excellent coins!<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie86" alt=":snaphappy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Those staters are as beautiful as they are fabled...speaking of greedy egomaniacs, I WANT &#039;EM I WANT &#039;EM!</p><p>[USER=87080]@TheRed[/USER] I am blown away by both your excellent synopsis of Seleukos as well as the eye you have for his tets! Though I must say that I LOVE all 3 tremendously, the reverse on the 3rd has to qualify as a masterpiece<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie16" alt=":artist:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />!</p><p>Great question [USER=19463]@dougsmit[/USER] and great analogy to your current situation. Did they and do we leave these things to our families cause we lack a better option? Is it cause we think they will change once we croak? I think that it is in our DNA and for better or worse we are cursed to leave those who come from us what we acquire...even if they could care less. Alexander was the only one who didn&#039;t pick family and it still turned out bad! SMH. Ps, if you are looking for an heir, the answer is, yes, I will be the grandson that will eagerly take that Pescennius off your hands (I missed out on another one a few weeks ago and got myself a Commodus as Herakles to make up for it)<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie85" alt=":smuggrin:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>[USER=56859]@TIF[/USER]! I&#039;ve been waiting for a Ptolemy to show up in here(I have a bronze of his wearing that fantastical elephant skin hat...but cannot find my pics of it<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie86" alt=":snaphappy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie66" alt=":muted:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />). Again, you with the graceful (the gentleman&#039;s way of saying smokin&#039; hot) Athena! With that form she probably had 5 men at a time lined up to court her...and then with those forearms she could&#039;ve thrown that spear through all of em! Making a Greek Kabob!</p><p>Great example of the Antigonos II Gonatas Pan tet [USER=77077]@Theodosius[/USER]! That has been near the top of my must have list for some time. Beautiful coin, excellent ruler...I am just outbid every time one within my budget comes around.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
