LOL, never have seen this! Really a goofy mashup!

Oh, man! High School Days! Raisin' Hell and Wreakin' Havoc... big fun, great mems from that tune! Thanks @Ryro

LOL, it was the trombonist I was laughing about. I know I have lowbrow taste in music… I gravitate to fun tunes. I remember as a wee lad, sitting in a bath with the “Dance of the Baby Elephant” on the radio! Early influence of music in my life… However, I do enjoy Classical, New Wave, music from many cultures around the world, etc etc. As long as I like it, then it is fun music to me! 🙂 I think you and I should start a Celtic Carnyx band!

This one is just a fun listen. Earwig and all... Celtic AE Ring 800-500 BCE

ALEXANDER III MAKEDONWN LIFETIME - TetradrachmBABALONIA, BabylonAlexander III LifetimeAR Tetradrachm / Stater (or Dishekel)Minted ca. 323-328 B.C.24 mm, 16.3gObv: Ba’al seated left holding scepterRev: Lion walking left, control mark Г above.(Control mark Г was minted during Alexander III Lifetime)Ref: Ref: BMC Arabia XXII no.1Comment: "This type was discussed by Martin Price in his article "Circulation at Babylon in 323 BC," in the book "Mnemata: Papers in Memory of Nancy M. Waggoner." He asserts that a reengraved die clearly shows the "lion staters" with gamma followed the ones with delta. "They are probably shekels on the local standard." (page 67). He dates them to the lifetime of Alexander, because they were present in a hoard with deposition dated to 323/2. He doesn't give the earliest possible date explicitly, but mentions that Mazaeus was governor until 328 and issued coins, so I infer Price would put them at or after 328. So you can say "Struck 323 or before, under Alexander the Great." Quoted from @ValentinianEx: @Ancientnoob

Sear 326 Crawford 391/3. RBW 1429. Sydenham 787Story, very truncated:The moneyer's family were originally a plebeian family of equestrian rank and were Samnites (had fought against Rome in THREE Samnite Wars (343–341 BCE, 326–304 BCE, and 298–290 BCE). After the Social War (91-87 BCE, with the Samnites holding out to 87 BCE), a part of the family moved to Rome, with a couple of them becoming Senators. However, one of the Senators was expelled, and also disowned his Senator Son. "No one has a satisfactory reason for this scene..." Hmmm... I wonder; this guy came from a Rebel Family (Samnites), and the Samnites were virtually exterminated after the Social War by Sulla. I think Roma stepping on a Wolf's severed head might say something...

🙂 I really like your Argos Wuff! Great find @Curtisimo. Yeah, I am here, just a little infrequent due to work and my new puppy!

ARGOLIS. Argos. Circa 490-470 BC.AR Triobol, 14mm, 2.9g, 12h.Obv.: Forepart of wolf lying down right.Rev.: Large A; two small incuse squares above, pellet below crossbar; all within shallow square incuse.Reference: BCD Peloponnesos 1009.Ex-Coin Galleries, Ex-BCD Ex: @John Anthony Comments: Argos is one of the oldest inhabited cities in history. During the classical period, they were a powerful rival of Sparta for dominance over the Peloponnese. The citizens of Argos were also famed for their various festivals and celebrations, pottery and bronze sculpturing schools, tanneries, and manufacturers of fine clothing. This is an EXTREMELY rare variety of early triobol, with the wolf facing right. The vast majority of the early triobols have the wolf facing left. Later issues feature the wolf facing right quite often This coin is ex-BCD, with his tag, which reads “From the Coin Galleries, MBS, Nov. 12, 1986, lot 73
