1 of my all time favourite quotes by Irish antiquarian George Petrie. Perhaps a tad draconian but he makes his point in no uncertain terms!

My new book is FREE but we were getting over 5,000 downloads of it per hour so it crashed the site. But it's back up now: https://t.co/AELyyFVjd7 - enjoy, and sorry for that hiccup!

@wheatus @Iceman_Hof And just as addictive!! 🙌🏻

@bengreenfield @GetKion Doing the cold showers before bed, sleep mask and lavender essential oils. Re-timers next on my hit list! Thanks Ben 💪🏻💪🏻

[Jon Mann @JMNumismatist]

@PlatoPox So sorry for your loss; you must feel completely and utterly numb. I sincerely hope you have family who can support you through this 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[Jon Mann @JMNumismatist]

@CatJarman Congratulations Cat. Very happy for you! 😊

If you are constantly thankful from the bottom of your heart, the movement of the things you want to feel thankful for will always be towards you. That’s the power of gratitude.

@JaneVsw @DrFrancisYoung @findsorguk Nice! Yeh, it’s a heraldic term meaning ‘arranged all over the field’.

[Jon Mann @JMNumismatist]

@DrFrancisYoung @JaneVsw @findsorguk I believe this is the arms of France modern (three FDL) as opposed to the arms of France ancient which was a field of FDL. The change came in 1376.

[Jon Mann @JMNumismatist]

@DrFrancisYoung @findsorguk Fantastic find! Not a Nuremberg but French medieval. ca 15th c. I think.

Interesting that it has a die sinkers’ error which looks to read AVE MARIA GARCIA (PLENA).

@Iceman_Hof Since yesterday I’ve done cold showers x 2, taken a dip in the Thames and done an ice bath. All is well!!

[Jon Mann @JMNumismatist]

@kirsteenMM @brichaimbeul Most welcome!

[Jon Mann @JMNumismatist]

@Iceman_Hof One of the most amazing experiences of my whole life!! I quite literally felt born again. Definitely the cold showers really helped...can’t wait for the next one brush with ice. WHM has changed my life 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[Jon Mann @JMNumismatist]

@Iceman_Hof This morning!! Just completed my first month of cold showers and did my first ice bath last month. All thanks to you Wim 🙌🏻🥶🙌🏻

@Iceman_Hof @londonreal It’s probably the best interview with you Wim that I’ve seen. Straight from the heart.

[Tom Holland @holland_tom]

I treat myself to this amazing coin: minted in 55 BC by Cassius Longinus, brother (or possibly cousin) of the future tyrannicide, it shows the temple of Vesta in the Forum.
