-monolith- Posted August 26 · Member Share Posted August 26 I have a new purchase I swear is cursed; it's an Antoninianus of Lucifer. This is the actual auction posting, please note the 666 Lot number. That's right 666. The coin is suppose to be a Barbarous Imitation of Tetricus I, but I swear its a portrait of Lucifer on the obverse, and him as a Satyr, including horns and goat legs, behanding a victim on the reverse. 5 1 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heliodromus Posted September 8 · Member Share Posted September 8 Marc Antony looks consistently odd on his coins, and not what I'd consider handsome (but what do I know), but maybe a bit like Kirk Douglas ? 5 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For whatever reason, Marc Antony's coin portraits have always reminded me of Tony Bennett. That nose and chin. (I'm too lazy to find an appropriate photo of Anthony Dominick Benedetto. But he was certainly Italian -- more so than the former Issur Danielovitch!) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curtisimo Posted September 8 · Supporter Share Posted September 8 This is a fun thread. I’ve always thought that the Persian darics/sigloi looked like a very fit conscious Great King doing lunges. 🙂 2 2 1 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benefactor LONGINUS Posted yesterday at 12:18 AM · Benefactor Benefactor Share Posted yesterday at 12:18 AM (edited) Classic thread, @TIF Here are a few that I featured a while back in my Gallienus post, but they really belong here. Here’s a poster I couldn’t resist because it reminds me of an old friend. I made many trips up and down the East Coast back in the '70s and '80s, and I frequently saw the image of the “Mudflap girl,” hanging from the back end of 18-wheelers. They were very common back then. This one’s for stevex6. I’m sure he’s loving it. Edited yesterday at 08:25 AM by LONGINUS 2 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mudflap girl is spot on! 🤣 Brando as Vespasian and Ringo as Gallienus are also hilarious 😆. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
