Maybe if you think of him like a bison instead of a goat he’s not so bad.
I don’t trust that white goat. Looks like it will do something to get you in trouble and then look innocent.
“So cute until they grow up”.
They all just want cuddles.
And food; mostly food.
RIC VI (Alexandria) 144B - Maximinus II
IMP C GALER VAL MAXIMINVS PF AVG
BONO GENIO PII - IMPERATORIS Crescent over K(?)/Γ over X//ALE
5.88g, 26x25mm, 311-312 AD
I don’t think I’ve mentioned on here that I am an ancient Roman history and coinage geek, but I just took this photo of a new arrival and thought I’d share.
This is Maximinus II, aka Maximinus Daza or Daia, and it’s a less common variety with an interesting reverse legend which translates to something like ‘to the good and dutiful Genius of our Emperor’. Genius here is something like the guiding spirit, or divine spark.
Absolutely
It’s old and worn out…
Demand a replacement !
(The level of detail in the molding was already so good, it’s impressive.)
It’s crazy how well preserved something 1700 years old can be, especially if it went into the ground in reasonable condition and the soil wasn’t too acidic.
This particular coin has a bit of wear from circulation on the high points, and the patina is quite thick with a fair amount of hard encrustations and verdigris, but it’s an attractive thing in its own way.
For this Black Friday, I will be celebrating by unsubscribing from a lot of companies emails.
Free double tape effect, looks and sounds good
Realized today when recording my Virus TI2 and Hexdrums a few things:
- My crappy mixers are the weak point in my studio chain
- Levels are too soft on my Virus TI2 to DAW (Virus → Keith McMillen K-mix mixer-> RME Babyface audio interface)
- Hexdrums sounds massive and crushing! Had to dial down so it did not drown out my poor Virus!
So my mixers are old and weak. I need a god tier studio mixer! What do you recommend? My old ones that I bought years ago are showing their old teeth and weakpoints.
