went down the pub with my didrachm

I picked up a new didrachm Monday, and I guess as we all do with new dates, we went down the pub together to have a good time. I had quite a bit to drink, the didrachm less so though I'm sure I spilled some on her. I sat her on the table, on a nice colourful sign that would make sure I didn't ever leave her unattended. Age-appropriate pic below.

That's a great type.  Here's one that was minted around the same time and probably at the same mint, right?

Romans owe the Neapolitans so much!
