<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ryro, post: 3898091, member: 91461&quot;]Thanks for all the BEAuuuutiful coins and kind words my CT fam.</p><p>Great coin and point [USER=77976]@Nathan401[/USER]. The Romans were equally great at hyperbolizing their enemies as they were demonizing them.</p><p>Here&#039;s another RR of them facing &quot;barbarians&quot; but here they make them look like heroes so the propaganda didn&#039;t show big guys picking on little guys:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1027672[/ATTACH] </p><p>[USER=51347]@Alegandron[/USER]! I doubt I&#039;m as <i>passionate</i> for the Greeks as they would be for me<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> but you&#039;re correct, this is an absolutely gobsmackingly fascinating period in recorded human affairs!</p><p>And D@mn€d you for posting that RR Alexander in 2 different languages Again! It&#039;s already a must have on my list (despite being one of the most cost prohibitive coins on my list<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie79" alt=":rage:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />). If my wife had any idea of the influence your collection was on our budget she would assuredly make me block you&#039;re postings<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie20" alt=":banghead:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Good point that if Alexander made it back home he would&#039;ve certainly gone to consolidate the West (or sent a general to do it for him while he lived up the wild and debached Persian lifestyle he&#039;d created for himself).</p><p>PS, I&#039;m always self conscious of my usage of the words Macedon, Macedonian, Makedon etc. How do you decide?</p><p>Coincides always abound with geniuses [USER=89687]@ominus1[/USER] ... Or as an old buddy used to remind me, fools rarely differ<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie59" alt=":joyful:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>You know I LOVE me some Pyrrhos my man, [USER=96635]@Pavlos[/USER] or should I say Pyrrvlhos?!<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />! I was recently listening on audible to Pyrrhus of Epirus by Charles Rivers editors, and they state that Pyrrhus was Olympia&#039;s brother&#039;s half son or something to the effect that he would&#039;ve been a cousin of Alexander. If true pretty sensational stuff<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie101" alt=":woot:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Speaking off sensational, I&#039;m a huge fan of that coin type. And boy-O yours is in great condition. Here&#039;s my humble example<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie87" alt=":sorry:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />:</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; [ATTACH=full]1027681[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Keeps with it and then some, [USER=99456]@Sulla80[/USER]. Yours is a near RR masterpiece and blows mine outta the water<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie16" alt=":artist:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1027673[/ATTACH] </p><p>Just like [USER=15445]@Collect89[/USER]&#039;s does my lil friend<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie33" alt=":cigar:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />! And I waited around for mine. You just don&#039;t see this type (or very many of the really tiny types with the kind of artistry in the kind of condition that collect 89 has) around very often.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1027675[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>And for funsies a bonus RR coin of Makedon that I didn&#039;t have room for in the initial post:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1027680[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
