#staters
Text
A hoard of rare Iron Age treasure has been unearthed on a sacred island in Wales, and each one is blazoned with mystical symbols. The question is, were they used for trade, or left behind as offerings to the gods?

Verses: Modern
Context: My muse got dumped by her boyfriend and is drinking alone at a bar to digest the news. She shares her frustration at the bar, where your muse is sitting.
"He basically told me he's been cheating on me for the past year. That this other woman had everything he was dreaming to see in a partner." Thinya sighed and took her shot of tequila before shaking her head. "This fucking bastard..."

Gold stater (diameter=18 mm; weight=9.09 g) from the ancient Greek city of Panticapaeum, a Milesian colony on the Black Sea. The obverse bears the head of the god Pan, shown in three-quarter view and crowned with ivy. The reverse depicts a griffin with a spear in its mouth, standing on an ear of grain (the Black Sea region was an important center of grain production for the ancient Mediterranean world). Around the griffin are the Greek letters ΠΑΝ. Now in the Münzkabinett der Staatlichen Museen, Altes Museum, Berlin. Photo credits: ArchaiOptix/Wikimedia Commons.

The mermaid was looking throught the window as the heavy rain was falling, 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐡𝐞𝐫, 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧, 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐚 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐩𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐦, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐡𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐬 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐱𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐬𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐦𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐞𝐭 𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐬𝐬, 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐞𝐲𝐞𝐬 𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐧𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐞.Opening the window she looked down to see that strange movement again.
"Rayman? I'm going outside, I saw something out there, it wasn't a teensie. Not one of Globox's kids... I will be quick so I can transform in the bath and not outside, besides I was gonna take a bath, anyways..."
Said her to her boyfriend as she grabbed one oversized shirt that she made for herself and failed and placed it over her head as it will be easier for her to dry later and with that, she opened the door and went outside, her feet and legs soaked wet, but she continued to look around, and she won't stop until she finally finds that creature.
She could feel her legs merging into one tail, making it more difficult to walk, until she just fell on her stomach and looked at the creature... a human child?, her scales appearing now as her dorsal and tail fin.
"Ray! I found it! Come, I can't move, is a human child, come get her, please! She seems lost..."

leon having a charizard is such a hit or miss for me because i 100% believe the theory they did it purely for merchandising but my “i need everything to have a deeper meaning” brain also loves the idea of one of the strongest trainers in the franchise having a starter pokemon as an ace. it goes against the idea that most champions have a pseudo as their ace and in a way it shows that absolutely anyone (very similar to what i also believe red’s purpose is) can become the strongest.
#does this make sense lol im just sick of seeing that red dragon everyone but yknow … i see the vision lmao#blues ace is pidgeot IMO i don’t consider the stater to be so since that is so interchangeable depending on the player#pokemon#leon pokemon#red pokemon#trainer red#pokemon sword and shield#pokemon swsh#ramblings

A 2,000-Year-Old Gold Greek Coin Sells for $6 Million at Auction
The coin once belonged to the State Hermitage Museum until it was sold off by Joseph Stalin.
A private collector has spent a pretty penny to get their hands on a 2,000-year-old gold Greek coin.
Known as a Panticapaeum stater, after the ancient Greek city in modern-day Crimea, the coin went for $6 million at Numismatica Ars Classica in Switzerland making it the most expensive ancient coin ever sold at auction.
The soaring price has been attributed to the coin’s quality, rarity, and the fact the supply of similar specimens is extremely limited with most already housed inside museums.
“I am extremely pleased with the phenomenal result the sale of the Panticapaeum stater achieved at our latest auction in Zurich,” Arturo Russo, co-director at Numismatica Ars Classica, said in a statement. “This is a sign the whole market for numismatics is flourishing, and is especially strong for ancients at the moment.”
The coin was minted circa 340–25 B.C.E. and features a wide-eyed satyr on the obverse and that of a griffin gripping a spear in its beak on the reverse. The presence of the satyr, a mischief-maker in Greek mythology that resembles a man with horse ears and a tail, is thought to reference king Satyros I, who ruled a Greco-Scythian empire in eastern Crimea from 432 to 389 B.C.E.
The sharp details make numismatists confident the coin is the work of a master engraver. Unlike similar coins, this Panticapaeum stater features the satyr facing three-quarters to the left, as opposed to facing fully left, a detail experts believe was altered in an attempt to follow contemporary fashions.
The coin was long part of the State Hermitage Museum’s collection, but was sold off in 1934 as part of Stalin’s push to sell works of art to raise foreign currency to fund domestic industrial growth. The coin was acquired by Charles Gillet, a French industrialist who focused on collecting rare books, furniture, and antiquities, including coins.
The previous record for most expensive ancient coin sold at auction was one of only three known “Ides of March” coins, which was minted in 42 B.C.E. and commemorated the assassination of Julius Caesar. It sold at Roma Numismatics auction house for $4.2 million in 2020, though, as it turned out, with falsified provenance.

If leftists and anti-imperialists inside Israel were so nonexistent (or just small and insignificant) like some of y'all on this website like to pretend they are, then why does the Israeli government and its officials work so hard to counteract them and act like they can singlehandedly bring down the entire government.
Sometimes you have allies on the inside, we have to learn how to have solidarity and not act like every single person in the illegitimate state of Israel is a Likudist ethnonationalist.
#some people are just born into a colonialist ethnostate and dont like it and actively work against it#just like y'know american leftists#we need to work on maybe working with two staters for the time being#because yeah eventually there will be (peaceful) conflict on two states vs Palestine one state#but the Zionist one staters want one state where every Palestinian is dead
