<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jamesicus, post: 4571220, member: 14873&quot;]Over time I developed a great love for rendering Capitalis Monumentalis lettering - it is very satisfying and pleasurable for me. Several years ago I was a member of “Southern Arizona Scribes” a very active and well run Calligraphy club. Individual members frequently organized small “get-togethers” (including a light refreshment break) at their homes to discuss specialized subjects such as gilding, paper making, etc. There was only passing interest in Majuscule lettering, but I seized on the opportunity to offer one of those “get-togethers” devoted to one of my favorite pursuits. I was being somewhat devious though - developing an interest in Ancient coins was also on my agenda - I wanted to recruit some enthusiasts that might become coin show “buddies” - I didn’t know of any other Ancient coin collectors/enthusiasts here at that time.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, I composed and distributed the following flyer:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1131886[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Well, only two people showed up! I guess it served me right for being devious!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1131887[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>The presentation went well although neither participant became an ancient coin enthusiast - they were not even tempted by some nice Sestertii - but we enjoyed the over abundant refreshments: cheap red (claret) wine ala. Horace Rumpole and some pretty good Wensleydale cheese with water biscuits.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
