"Next" was @Roman Collector's request for an Alexandrian drachm, which came before your request for a Julia Titi, voiding your request! As you acknowledged yourself at the end of your post by saying "next: another big Alexandrian drachm." Which I provided. So: next is still my request for the Pharos lighthouse on another Alexandrian drachm! Edited August 30, 2022 by DonnaML 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
