<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ryro, post: 4251919, member: 91461&quot;]As if the title isn’t confusing enough, it’s my second choice for the title of this giveaway, giveaway. Going off of what is hot/trending on social media is a good way to get participation... but something about calling this the COIN-VID-19<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie68" alt=":nurse:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> giveaway made me think people might not want to participate<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie98" alt=":wacky:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>“So,” you might ask, “why is the giveaway a giveaway, ry to the ro?”</p><p>If I’m being honest, it’s cause i can’t trust you.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Calm down. Not you the reader of this and long time CT buddy O mine. But the Non-royal you. Everyone.</p><p>Learning from giveaways of the past, in this giveaway the winner will get to pick who the prize goes to!<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie101" alt=":woot:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />(and, no, you cannot pick yourself. You weisenhiemer<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie65" alt=":meh:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />)</p><p><br /></p><p>Without further ado,</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1084695[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Here’s what’s up for grabs:</p><p><br /></p><p>The 12 Caesars by Michael Grant, not Suetonius. It’s a fun and far less sensationalizing account of these great (ish) men. And it has TONS of excellent pictures of coins, statues etc</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1084698[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1084699[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1084700[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1084702[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I’m throwing in a dup of the second Caesar minted by the second to last of them (of the twelve of course)!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1084697[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1084701[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Divus Augustus</p><p>Æ Dupondius.

Remember, Ryro likee to laugh and I think we could all use some chucks about now).</p><p>&amp; Who you think my favorite Caesar of the 12 is (no joking here this is serious, jk make fun/love<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie86" alt=":snaphappy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Once the thread slows down (if it catches steam in the first place) in a couple of days, I’ll pick what I think is the best/funniest/most deserving response. And that will be our first loser</p><p>[MEDIA=youtube]YgSPaXgAdzE[/MEDIA]</p><p><br /></p><p>That’s right, I like your opinion/response so much that you win no prize... other than who should receive the prize. That person will decide the fates of many<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie58" alt=":jimlad:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Hence, wait for it...The 12 Caesars giveaway... giveaway!!!</p><p><br /></p><p>Catch: Edit: Thanks to [USER=77077]@Theodosius[/USER] anyone can enter and this prize could go anywhere in the world! Now, I’m not an American snob (more like American slob), which is why I can’t afford shipping outside of the US. Books are silly expensive to ship. I still want worldwide participation though. I thought this up as we need a reason and a way to have some fun locked inside our homes. Unless the person who picks the ultimate winner wants to foot the bill they will need to pick one of the US contestants.</p><p>As well, please don’t enter to win and sell these. Just, not cool my dudes and dudets.</p><p>Ta boot: if I truly deem you awesome I may have a couple pretty cool(cheap) secondary prizes just in case.</p><p>Lastly, go wash your hands and smile while you look in the mirror. Cause, if your mirror looks like mine, then you’re dead sexy<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie60" alt=":kiss:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
