All three arrived today. What a surprise! I ordered them from three different dealers in the United States. I'm not accustomed to receiving orders so quickly. I order most of my Judaean coins from Israel and the process usually takes several weeks.
Cool, now all you need is 200 more years worth of coins and you'll have the entire Parthian collection. I think you should go for it. Those Parthians are really nice coins, aren't they? Glad you are enjoying them.
Well, the Parthians were expert horsemen, so naturally their coins would also gallop quickly... Glad you're enjoying this new sub-theme!
Ahahaha, Rush and Triumph? ..... nice Wow, you dudes love Canadian Trio bands!! (man, that's a fairly small cult-following audience!!) ....... me too Oh, and I have several of their "albums" and I saw both 'em live when I was in my late teens (probably on mushrooms ... is that wrong?)
I like the Parthians. Do they relate to your biblical collecting theme? You are a great addition to our little ancient family, I like how you are using coins to inspire people. Rush is one of my all time favorites. I saw their last tour in Orlando. They are in their early sixties but you can see they still love to play music. They played three hours straight and kicked ass! I hope I have the same energy when I get there.
Everyone knows the second line below but I doubt Rush even realized how they were offering guidance to collectors of ancient coins. "You can choose a ready guide in some celestial voice If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice You can choose from phantom fears and kindness that can kill I will choose a path that's clear I will choose freewill" Loosely translated: You can listen to the advice of TIF and crew or not But you can't straddle the fence You can live in fear of fakes and bronze disease or You can decide to enjoy the ride, After all, this is supposed to be fun.
LOL, @dougsmit ! Your talent has no bounds! You even have gotten me to bring Empresses into my collection... My FIRST was your Julia Domna! Thanks.
