Hi Alexander. I am with you in regard to the Rome commemoratives, I have three (one from Lyon, one from Siscia and one without a clear mint mark) and they are some of my favourite coins among all the ancients that I have. It is also interesting to note the slight differences in the depiction of the wolf and twins from the different mints. I have five of the Constantinople ones and while they are a fine design, I think the wolf and twins are more evocative because they hark back to the beginnings of Rome's rise to greatness. The image on the coins portrays the wolf very differently to the famous statue in the Capitoline Museum. Great weather and yet another successful day on the pasture, with a nice range of finds, rounded off with that magnificent hammered half crown. Enjoy the rest of the summer. PS I know you were annoyed by the flies but in that regard you should be thankful that you aren't here in Australia, as we have to have fly screens on all the windows and doors. On a hot day they come in droves and they seem to be becoming immune to fly sprays and the personal insect repellents.

@HolzHammerSagas

Thanks John and yes, I too have noticed a big difference in the various wolves appearing on my coins.. Hope all well with you! Flies don't tend to be a big problem over here generally but i think a mixture of sudden heat and lack of their usual horse flesh meant they went for me!

I'd rather have 20 flies buzzing around that don't bite, than just the one that does. I remember being fortunate enough to live on a stunningly beautiful, unspoilt island, that very few tourists knew about, no electricity at night etc, and sitting down having one of many long conversations with an excellent local artist. He was explaining that visitors complain bitterly about the sandflies, which were bloody ruthless and in abundance, and said they want all of this beauty that nature provides, but despise, and complain about, other parts of the nature that surrounds them. They expect to go somewhere where only the beautiful parts of nature exist, they don't realise that when nature thrives, it all thrives, good and bad. He said they don't realise that they're the only ones out of place in nature, despite being fortunate enough to be the only creature in nature that isn't lower than something else in the food chain. And as if on que, a sea eagle swooped down in our view and rose with a lizard in its talons. I wouldn't let a few harmless flies put you off such beautiful pasture land 😉😊

Don't try to simulate the head/eyes whipping across the page to look for a coin pic.
