Curtisimo Posted June 13, 2022 · Supporter Share Posted June 13, 2022 Lol My Aspendos wrestler on the left is having a flatulence problem. Always embarrassing during a competition. 🤦♂️ Other than that I have surprisingly few butts in my collection... or perhaps you have surprisingly many @Ryro. 😳😁 10 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roman Collector Posted June 13, 2022 · Patron Share Posted June 13, 2022 I don't have that many different types of booty coins, @Ryro. I mean there's the requisite accumulation of Venus Victrix types: And then there's the Three Graces, the center one of which faces away from the viewer. Not sure if these coins are particularly flattering to her, though. 10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
