Not a coin but still nice

As a group who collect beautiful things, I thought you might like to see my prize possesion. I found this 2 years ago. It is called an Aesica Brooch and is circa 40-60 AD. It is Celtic/Romano. The face at the top is of Celtic design and the fantail at the bottom with ring and dot decoration is of Roman origin. This would have been cast in the very early days of Roman occupation.

Does the occasion ever arise to wear it?

I only wear it with the off the shoulder little black number, and stillettos, but the missus doesnt let me borrow them too often.

I think you'll have to post a picture of that Smudge.

Incidentally, the last Cat I had as a child was called Smudge, due to its black 'smudge' on its white nose. It only died recently after falling alsleep at the wheel (or more accurately, under the wheel of a stationary car before it set off)

Sorry about your cat Chris. I got the nickname in the Royal Navy, (Smudge Smith) After serving 22years it kinda stuck.
