Enjoy!

Virgil H:
That is a great podcast and I enjoyed it a lot, will listen to them again. I was disappointed there were no ancient dogs except for a cameo for Argos. I was hoping for the dogs of Alexander and Lysimachos. But, a very entertaining podcast, highly recommended looking at some of their other topics they cover. Thanks for posting.

Virgil H:
This seems to be the post with the most coins posted, so I just added this one to my Gallery. Roman Republic, Lucius Caesius.

Hi VH,

Nice coin! :)

That is an exceptional example. I love the contrasts and highlights.

Also, the symbol at the top of the reverse is clearly visible. On my example, that symbol is off the flan.

Here is my example (last coin):

Serendipity:
I can’t help but think of the Romans without their dogs barking somewhere in the background. The image of the dog’s direct descendant, a she-wolf, suckling the infant twin founders of Rome, Romulus and Remus, has been an abiding symbol of the ancient Romans since at least the 3rd century BCE.
