<p>[QUOTE="Terence Cheesman, post: 3958838, member: 86498"]My most embarrassing time as a speaker was about 12 years ago. I had volunteered to do a talk at the Classical Association of the Canadian West. The theme was anniversaries. I had organized a talk on the coinage of Roman Amasia in Pontus. The sources I had collected suggested that many coins were anniversary issues linked to two events in their history. I was feeling pretty good about myself, but about a month before I had discovered that the civic dating of this city was changed. Needless to say all my work went straight to the garbage and in very quick order I was forced to produce a completely new presentation on a completely different topic though following the same theme. I did and it was horrible. This coin featured in the replacement lecture</p><p>Koinon of Macedon Ae 26 Time of Gordian III Obv Head of Alexander III with flowing hair. Rv.
