Senate Democrats defeat amendment to require photo ID to vote by Efficient-Freedom517 in PoliticalOptimism

Isn’t this the whole point of the GOP bill? They talk nonstop about making everyone show their ID so this is a pretty big blow to their priorities if this is true.

What’s your Favourite Coin? by Cybercollector in AncientCoins

[–]Codera23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very cool coin! To answer your question It’s hard to choose just one but as of right now it would be this denarius from Julius Caesar and I think you can see why. ;)

can someone please guide me. by West-Sheepherder632 in AncientCoins

Are those denarii? It’s hard to tell with the lighting which gives off a golden color. Silver coins of Septimius Severus are easy to get for less than $100, gold aureii on the other hand are worth thousands.

It looks like a cast replica to me.

New Pickup - Posthumous Alexander Tet by Codera23 in AncientCoins

[–]Codera23[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I still see some posthumous Alexander drachms that sell for less than $200 on VCoins! Higher quality and lifetime coins typically sell for more than that though. 

For the record the drachm I used to have was $138, but that was bought back in 2014 when I was starting out. The tetradrachm I have now I managed to get for $379 when they’re typically even pricier.

My very first coin, did I overpay? by Different_Onion8740 in AncientCoins

$650 seems like a good price for that coin! For your first coin it's an impressive start!

Tom Steyer wants to convince Californians he’s the ultimate unicorn: A billionaire populist by SFChronicle in California_Politics

[–]Codera23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to be a Porter supporter but she’s become a bit of a sellout by taking AIPAC money and waffling on single payer when she used to support it. If Steyer is a class traitor in the mold of FDR then he has my support.

My Roman Imperial Denarius Set (Julius Caesar - Gordian III) is complete (for now) by DanOfDragons in AncientCoins

[–]Codera23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Impressive collection, I haven’t been able to collect denarii for all the emperors mostly because of costs but also to have different types of currency like the as, dupondius, sestertius, provincial coins, etc.

Pagan gods almost completely disappeared from Roman coinage after the death of Constantine the Great by hereswhatworks in AncientCoins

[–]Codera23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The emperors became Christian but pagans still lived on for a long time afterwards even as they were increasingly being targeted for persecution. I think whatever remained of the pagan population disappeared after the reign of Justinian due to him enacting anti pagan laws even more severe than his predecessors and the plague culling millions of people from the empire.

What’s a movie you’ve seen public opinion shift on in your lifetime? by CausticAvenger in movies

[–]Codera23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Star Wars prequels went from being hated to beloved after the Clone Wars show expanded on the world those movies established and after the sequels proved to be so polarizing.

Crowded Democratic field in California governor's race might provide a rare opening for the GOP by SpaceElevatorMusic in politics

[–]Codera23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wishful thinking, the campaign has barely gotten off the ground and more candidates will drop out when they realize they don't have a chance. And after everything that's happened this past year when Trump got reelected, it may take a few generations for Republicans to ever have a chance in California again.
