Nice coins, @zumbly @Mikey Zee gifted me this little gem. I was VERY grateful, as I had just started looking for a Curule Chair! Roman Republic P Furius Crassipes 84 BCE AR Denarius 19mm 3.84g Rome mint Turreted head Cybele right foot upward Curule chair Cr 356-1a Syd 735 Furia 20 Ex: @Mikey Zee
...o wow!...two of my favorites on either side....an excellent gift to a fine dude from a great fella!
Agreed. Always liked that Goddess. Very cool that she preceded the Greeks, and goes back to the Neolithic Ages. Some cool Pantheon that were before the Greeks... AND, it was not a Patriarchal approach to their religions. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cybele Forerunner ca. 6000 BCE
..wow!....6000BC?!?......that's almost as far back as the mother goddess figurines...it's that turret/city wall crown that intrigues me( i must say that time was kind to her looks tho )
OmNomNom and everyone, I'm touched . I'm alive and well, just busy and coin play has taken a backseat to other stuff. I haven't even photographed the coin yet... slippin'... definitely slippin'. @rrdenarius sent me a super cool coin a while back and I haven't even taken pictures of it yet, or one gifted by @Brian Bucklan! Man, I'm feeling guilty. Maybe this coming week I'll have some coin time . Hope everyone's doing well and staying clear of COVID.
Well hello young lady..... I'm very glad to see you here this evening. Wishing you all the best....Paddy @TIF

I've been summoned! Sorry guys, posting on coin forums has an ebb and flow to it. Right now I'm in a video-game phase... lost 60 hours(!) to Frostpunk dammit. Also working a lot at my day job selling elements from the periodic table. I am, however, still plugging away a bit on my next book. This is numero uno on my bucket list 'fo I croak.... coins always center me back on mission. Facebook's a reliable way to stay in touch.

Think of how many coins you could have acquired had you purchased a used Saturn instead of the car in that photo! Priorities, man! PRIORITIES!
