Some people have sensible life ambitions -- a house, a family, superpowers... I wanted a Roman gold coin, and this is how I got one.

((Sorry about the mix-up before. This is the right article with the right title this time.))

((PS -- a few weeks after buying the first gold solidus, the opportunity came to buy a second, at a vastly reduced price. The coin was slightly damanged and was available at about a third the price of the first.))
