Anyway, pretty cool read and it even surprised me by talking about I coin of hers I didn't know about. This is the wildwinds pic.. [ATTACH=full]838397[/ATTACH] Kind of hard to see but she is holding one of her sons (with Julius C) Caesarion, he just looks like a little bump in front of her. Anyway, I've really been wanting a coin of hers since I read the book, but I doubt I can afford a portrait coin. I know there is some stuff mint in during her reign that doesn't have her pic, maybe I can snag one of those. TOTALLY JEALOUS OF THAT NEW COIN OF YOUR ZUMBLY!!!![/QUOTE]
