@ltarsenal You're amazing. Nearly everything you post is either knee jerk and/or ages terribly. Just do yourself a favor, next time you want to tweet, stop, wait half hour and then go again.
Have the skill to handle a low-bounce lob wedge? If you do, I have a fresh @VokeyWedges SM9 WedgeWorks 60A with your name on it.
Just need to RT and be following this account to win. Iโll pick a winner on Friday.
So, as per your votes, here is the coin to be raffled: a silver denarius minted in Rome in 89 BC, when Marius, Sulla and Cicero roamed the world. The moneyer, Lucius Tatius Sabinus, plays upon his last name by depicting the King of the Sabines, Titus Tatius on one side, and Roman men on the reverse abducting Sabine women from their husbands. This was an infamous tale so often told about the turbulent first year of Rome (753/2 BC). The coin has clearly done the rounds in many an ancient hand, but the last picture from a much better specimen gives a good idea of how it once looked.
If you would like to be in the draw, on the evening of Sunday 24 September, just RT this message and the first name we draw from our followers will have it sent to them, anywhere in the world.
Felix esto : good luck!
