Message:: [QUOTE="sand, post: 7940750, member: 118540"]Thanks [USER=90248]@Spaniard[/USER]The Caligula is one of my favorites also. Partly because of the 1979/1980 Malcolm McDowell "Caligula" movie, which I have on DVD, and partly because of the 1976 "I, Claudius" dramatic series, which I also have on DVD.That's a nice Pallas Athena coin you have. It is eerie to know, that you stood, where the coin was struck. I wonder, if the ghosts of the persons, who struck the coin, were watching you. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> It must be interesting, living in a country, with so much interesting history. I've never been to Spain, and I don't have any ancient coins from Spain. However, I have this coin, which is the most expensive coin in my entire collection, including US coins, ancient coins, medieval coins, and world coins.[ATTACH=full]1374386[/ATTACH]Potosi 8 reales cob ("Piece Of Eight"), from the reign of Philip II of Spain, assayer RL, minted in the 1590s in the New World. 27.20 grams. 37.7 mm.[/QUOTE]
