[QUOTE="Limes, post: 4300549, member: 101013"]hello there, in these times of being indoors I thought of a funny and interesting thread, to see if we can recreate history.

It would be neat however if you could make the event so concrete and specific as possible, for example referring to a specific day or year when the event took place. And perhaps its most interesting not to post posthomeus (divvs) coins :) So, here's my attempt.
