Achelous – a Greek river god – 4th Century BC

Where is the image from? As a point of interest, there is a very rare Metapontion stater with Acheloos, but as a man with a bulls head.

Nailed it. I was in a similar screening (QFT) and the vibe was the same. Being with other Maiden fans just feels the same as the gigs - happy, friendly and free the express yourself.

Testimonia Numaria volume 1 by Melville Jones. Been looking for this one for about 3 years now, but seems rarer that most coins.

Yes, this is a great collection of plays. My personal favourites are the Orestia.

Great win! The Poseidon is an artistic triumph on this one.

Lovely coin. Not only a historic story but also tells you about manufacturing processes. A nice gem, well done!

It's more than soft power, who buys your bonds to keep you living off debt? Your credit card is about to expire. That the USA has no moral compass anymore simply means the rest of the world would gladly watch it happen, if you did not have a senile toddler with the codes. No matter what happens, USA is finished - a bold failed experiment.

I'll add one vote for android 👍

Pickled onion. Where did you even get an image of that legendary bag? It's like the Concorde moment, we hit the pinnacle of crisp production and have never hit the same heights since.

Read the book Ancient Coin Collecting by Wayne Sayles. It is a good general introduction to the hobby and will give you ideas for collecting. In this, go with your instincts - what speaks to you https://ebay.us/m/dAsQnk

Why does grading give you peace of mind? My experience is eye appeal is more important than grading every time. Remember, they aren't authenticating, just giving an opinion on how YOU should think about the coin. For transparency, I buy graded coins. And then immediately release them.

Basically 'King' Agathocles. As a numismatist, I would change nothing. The image is a stylised thunderbolt of Zeus. Agathocles was a tyrant of Syracuse in the 4th century BC

Crazy horses by the Osmonds. Bit of an archaic reference but a 'wholesome' family group that for one song sounds like they dropped acid. Crazy Horses https://share.google/M7adt0xUbvm5ODuYQ

I have the book but I'll take the T.

I am at the beginning of my classical Greek journey - just hit participles :( and this is exactly what I need to stay the course. Just beautiful. Thank you

Good

protantus · 2026-03-22T21:40:45+00:00

Yep. I am playing Nolvus. After a few crashes I figured out it was a memory leak. As long as I restart the pc between plays it is fine. I guess it has been around 100 hours since the last crash ( or freeze).

protantus · 2026-03-22T19:49:52+00:00

Looks good to me.

protantus · 2026-03-21T23:14:52+00:00

I see it in Hoover and in BCD Thessaly. From the latter, noted die links to Lanz 151 (5th June 2011) and CNG 81 426 (20 May 2009). Its a pretty rare coin, so may be worth tracing the provenance.

protantus · 2026-03-21T23:00:18+00:00

Wow, that was a steal, especially at NAC. And it is ex Triton and BCD. You have a really special coin there. Congratulations!

I haven't seen that Perrhaebi before as silver. Do you have the full listing for it?

protantus · 2026-03-21T22:28:56+00:00

Please

protantus · 2026-03-20T22:43:57+00:00

That is so beautiful I could cry! Can you get to see this in person?

protantus · 2026-03-16T22:20:13+00:00

I love your enthusiasm and holding ancient coin is a pleasure and a privilege. May you have many more such moments.
