I hope you had a god birthday. I'm tipping back a long neck for you as I type and then off to bed. Now you have to start working on the coming year and new coins to conquer.
Many happy returns of the day, Alegandron. I apologize for my tardiness, but the latest Microsoft 'updates' have 'killed' my computer and while it is away being fixed, I am using a borrowed laptop (and the change is not so easy). All the best.

Oh, man, I undestand the frustrations of updates! You learn how dependent you really are on the use of your pc!
Anyone notice the image used for the first post? How about one indicating the beginning instead of an end? Happy B-day and wishes for many more (and many more coins!). Maybe one of these will come your way!
Jeez @Alegandron !!! Somehow I missed this thread yesterday and I've been busy ever since.... A belated HAPPY BIRTHDAY Brian!!! I'll offer one RR denarii of Paullus to the fantastic posts already made in your honor---A reverse with King Perseus and sons CAPTA, commemorating the end of Macedonia as a Greek kingdom, and a Concordia obverse:
