Severus Alexander Posted June 7, 2022 · Supporter Share Posted June 7, 2022 (edited) And the REAL reason @Ryro left "the other place" comes out! 😆 Um, I have a few things to contribute I think. Septimius Severus, Nicopolis with Priapos reverse: (But @TIF's Elagabalus is... well, much better!) My erector set also contains this rare A. Pi from Lampsakos. It's amazing after all the wear and tear he is still keepin' it up: A tooled tool (not my coin!) : Probably my hottest babe other than my wife (Aurora, that is, not the Gorgon...). Plautius Plancus c. 47 BCE: The one that got away (eh @Ryro?) : I'll conclude with some auction listings I've enjoyed: Some classics from Frank Robinson: Edited June 7, 2022 by Severus Alexander added "other than my wife" for safety's sake 10 1 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeandAcre Posted June 13, 2022 · Member Share Posted June 13, 2022 (edited) Waaaaay back to @Ryro's Socrates-Plato-Aristotle-Alexander the Great, this is called for. Too bad they didn't rhyme 'Descarte' with 'Sartre' (..."the old fartre" --that's from the Tom Robbins book with the newly memorable title, Still Life with Woodpecker.)
