I am pleased to announce that we have honored József Géza Kiss (Quadrans), our Tribunus Plebis 2019, as our newest Tribunus Plebis Perpetuus. Thanks Joe for sharing your expertise in 11007 posts since you joined in 2011. Thanks also for moderating the Medieval, Islamic and Crusader board. Your gallery, selected as our first gallery of the year in 2016, is even better today. As I noted when you were made Tribunus Plebis 2019, your outstanding diverse collection is a valuable reference for all our members because it is expertly documented. This award is an expression of sincere appreciation and admiration from our members for the help and the education you have provided. Thanks!

Congratulations to Lech Stepniewski (lech.stepniewski) our Tribunus Plebis 2024! Thanks Lech, on behalf of Forum Ancient Coins and all our Classical Numismatics Discussion members, for your outstanding and unique contributions to this community. Your shared knowledge in 3329 posts since you joined in 2004, and your moderation of the Polish language discussion are great contributions to our community. I just looked at the Not in RIC - https://www.forumancientcoins.com/notinric/index.html - and saw the latest stats. Wow, 7174 unlisted types and varieties, 759 corrections, 17,400 different coins illustrated! This award is an expression of sincere appreciation and admiration from our members for the help you have provided and your contribution to classical numismatics. It is about time you were selected for this award!

On behalf of all our members, I would also like to thank all our nominees. We had fewer nominees this year but I can say that all of you were worthy of our votes. Thank you for generously sharing your time and expertise. You all deserve more appreciation and honor than I can express.

Dear President Joe Sermarini, my dear friends and colleagues here at the "Forum",
It was an honor to be nominated and it is a great honor to receive this title.
Thank you to all those who helped with their activity and participated in the entire process from nomination to voting.
I am convinced that my fellow candidates would have been worthy of receiving this title, and I hope that this will happen in the near future.
I especially congratulate my friend Lech who became my winning partner.
Thank you once again to everyone, this is a very good "friendly" community, may it remain so for a long time.

with respect, thanks, friendship:

Joe as Quadrans
József Géza Kiss

Mr. President, my fellow Members of this great FORVM, dear Voters

I am really surprised. As you know, I try for years to share my knowledge and efforts for the benefit of this FORVM and the entire numismatic community. However, my area of expertise is rather limited. Therefore, I must at this occasion emphasize that there are many members far more useful than me. First of all of course Quadrans (congratulations József!) but also Curtis Clay, Pekka K., Din X and many many others. Even in my area there are better experts - like Heliodromus or Victor Clark.

Please, remember that and thank you all

Lech Stępniewski
