I opened my PO box and looked inside and there it was—a gift from my Secret Saturnalia Santa, who goes by the screen name [USER=74431]@hoth2[/USER] . It was an awesome surprise. Walking out of the post office, I was feeling that amazing feeling that I felt when I was a kid on Christmas morning. </font></p><p><font face="Georgia"><br /></font></p><p><font face="Georgia">[ATTACH=full]724967[/ATTACH] </font></p><p><br /></p><p><font face="Georgia">The package contained a pair of excellent pen and ink sketches of details from one of my Judaea Capta denarii, a superb book entitled </font><i><font face="Georgia">Coins and Christianity</font></i><font face="Georgia"> by Kenneth Jacob (</font><i><font face="Georgia">never seen this before</font></i><font face="Georgia">) and a beautiful Trajan denarius.</font></p><p><font face="Georgia"><br /></font></p><p>[ATTACH=full]724901[/ATTACH]</p><p><font face="Georgia"><br /></font></p><p><font face="Georgia">I know what you’re thinking—Deacon Ray already posted his Secret Saturnalia gift. It was the Pisidia, Etenna bronze, featuring the beautiful nymph with the serpent. No, I was mistaken about that—that was a generous gift from our awesome CoinTalk Ancients Forum friend [USER=87186]@LaCointessa[/USER] and was not meant to be part of the Saturnalia gift exchange.</font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
