<p>[QUOTE=&quot;hotwheelsearl, post: 4683870, member: 75143&quot;]Thank you! I am glad someone on this thread can appreciate this amazing find. I admit I needed Cointalk assistance to identify it to begin with, as the only Wildwinds issue was an aureus (unfortunately, mine isn&#039;t gold LOL)</p><p><br /></p><p>I was honestly flabbergasted when this little guy came out of the woodwork. That day, I was about 350 or so coins into a bunch of literal junk and I was feeling a little bummed. Then I saw the &quot;COMM&quot; and I knew I had something good! (Disclaimer: 1100 coins later, I have not found anything nearly as great)</p><p><br /></p><p>I really like the story of Commodus&#039;s &quot;insanity.&quot; Apparently he felt himself the literal reincarnation of Hercules, and played the part. </p><p><br /></p><p>When I went to the Getty Villa few years ago, I spent <i>quite</i> a while circumambulating the bust of Commodus, since I was so enamored. What a guy, what a history!</p><p>Also, Joaquin Phoenix&#039;s depiction of Commodus in Gladiator was to DIE FOR.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1152725[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
