Message:: [QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 4850963, member: 10461"]I don't have Dionysus, I'm afraid. How about a double kantharos?  You can put your favorite beverage in one, and I'll put mine in the other. Calabria, Taras- silver obol, ca. 250 BC. Obverse- kantharos, surrounded by (five) pellets.Reverse- kantharos, surrounded by pellets. 11 mm, 0.4 g. Ex-Brian Bucklan (bargainbinancients.com), 5/22/2014. With cabinet toning from an old collection. <img src="http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k173/lordmarcovan/Ancient%20Coins-%20Greek%20and%20Roman%20Provincial/Calabria-Taras-AR-obol-006560-1.png" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> Ha!  By coincidence, I just noticed that my beverage of choice comes from the same region as that coin! <img src="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51Y0NI6U%2BRL.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> I take my Earl Grey tea iced, the way a good American Southerner does, not hot with milk, the way the Brits do.  But I don't do it syrupy sweet, the Southern way.  I use just a little hint of stevia in it. Bigelow is my chosen brand, for its strong bergamot notes.  Twinings is too weak for me, or doesn't adapt itself well to iced tea, for whatever reason.  Probably because it's British, and the Brits likely would consider iced Earl Grey to be an abomination.[/QUOTE]
