She is doing very well. Giving all the hospital staff what for just like she does me. She should be home tomorrow. Thanks for the kind thoughts.

And just to keep this coin related I'll post one of my SS denarii:

SEPTIMIUS SEVERUS AR Denarius
OBVERSE: SEVERVS PIVS AVG - Laureate head right
REVERSE: P M TRP XV COSIII P P - Africa standing right, resting hand on hip and holding grain ears; lion to right
Struck at Rome, 207 AD
2.7g, 18mm
RIC 207a, BMC 531, C 493

 

Bing, how much of what we do on coin talk is "coin related"?

 

Most - with side notes.

 

To demonstrate how we can keep this numismatic, I'll point out that the Emperors are known to have issued reverses honoring Aesculapius when there was sickness in the Imperial household. This Gordian III and Tranquillina is not one that we know was intended to curry favor with the god for healing from some known illness but it is sent here with wishes for a speedy recovery.

 

=> my only Sept Sev denarius

 

Thanks a million for all your thoughts and prayers.

 

beautiful coin......
