[QUOTE="Blake Davis, post: 3514353, member: 91820"]I have wondered about this sacred stone since it bears such a close resemblance to the stone Elagabalus dragged into Rome. I have also wondered what became of it - was it hastened back to the east? Tossed into the Tiber? It will join the menorah that Titus brought to Rome from Jerusalem, the final resting place of Attila and other unsolved mysteries. Actually I have always wondered why no one has ever searched for the tomb of Atilla - we know it is in a river or stream. Should be able to use some underwater metal detector or something to find it. If the ancient writings are correct Atllla was buried with quite a treasure! As for Septimius- I have 33 different sestertii - need only 67 more. The coins between 201 to 208 are next to impossible to find and cost quite a bit. But I am going to make a run for it! Actually I have 11 of 35 sestertii of Elagabalus - that might be easier!
