<p>[QUOTE="+VGO.DVCKS, post: 4957507, member: 110504"][USER=85693]@Marsyas Mike[/USER], your copy of this translation of the Meditations is blowing my head off. ...I used to collect printed matter of the same period (and to either side), running to ephemera and odd volumes. Sorry, the 'bookseller' (publisher) doesn't ring a bell in connection with, for instance, Addison and Steele. Except, from here, your example of the book would only elicit objectionable language, so it's probably time to shut up.</p><p>Back to, er, the coins, the examples from everyone here are spectacular. I can only wish I could find any pics for my sestertius (from ebay; it was a Good Day). In their absence, it's not worth citing my antiquated Sear, or Wildwinds. But it celebrates a victory in Parthia (from memory, still c. 160's), and the patina is Exactly the kind of olive that I want. ...Reminiscent of the Marcus Aurelius as I got as a kid, which is long gone. (Irony being that the sestertius is still here.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
