Roman Coin Hoard Found in England Sells at Auction
A hoard of Roman coins discovered by a metal detectorist scouring farmland has fetched more than £15,000 after going under the hammer.
More than 430 coins were found buried in the village of Colkirk, near Fakenham, Norfolk.
A collection of 73 pieces, including an extremely rare coin featuring a phoenix on a globe, was auctioned in London.
The anonymous finder had shown "perseverance", said coin specialist Nigel Mills, from Noonans auctioneers.
"Some of the people I've spoken to recently, who have found some amazing finds, are spending a lot of time detecting - hours and hours - and they don't give up," he said.

"They keep going and that's the secret in so many things - don't give up, keep looking."
The Colkirk hoard, believed to date back to the early 5th Century, was spread out across a third of an acre on arable farmland, although the majority of finds were discovered in a 1.5m (59in) radius.
It was a lucky find for the detectorist, who had no idea the soil held such treasures.
They were out searching a field in January 2020 when they spotted a silver coin, which they recognised as a siliqua - a small, thin Roman coin.
It sparked a haul of 40 coins that day, with a further 40 found on the following one.
Covid lockdowns meant searches became more sporadic, but each discovery was logged with a portable GPS unit to accurately pinpoint the hoard's distribution.
In all, 315 coins were found in 2020, 114 in 2021 and three in 2022.

Some of the coins had been damaged, while others were fragmented due to farming processes.
A commemorative Third Miliarensis coin issued by Emperor Theodosius, decorated with a phoenix on one side, was only the fifth one of its type known to exist, with all the others in museums.
It reached £3,400 at the sale in Mayfair.
Mr Mills said: "The hoard had [been] spread out over a third of an acre through disturbance by ploughing and has been recorded under the Treasure Act.
"The hoard is likely to have been deposited at the beginning of the 5th Century AD, with the latest coin of Honorius dating no later than 402 AD.
"Other Roman treasure finds of gold and silver also from East Anglia, such as the Hoxne and Thetford hoards, reflect the wealth and importance of the area."

imo karlach’s soul coin usage seems like it should have been a little more significant than it was.
she only ever really stops to consider the magnitude of burning through a person’s soul for power during an origin playthrough—otherwise she rationalizes to the player that they’re doomed anyway, and if using them gives her an edge in combat, why not use them for good instead of leaving them to be used by evil? the dialogue with lann tarv in act 2, where he tells the story of each soul he's handing over to her, tries to humanize each soul coin, and still she doesn’t really budge and disapproves pretty heavily if she's told no in regards to using them.
it just seems like something that could have caused some kind of conflict between her and wyll, given he sold his soul to a devil in dire circumstances and takes issue with the player for sleeping with mizora, because she 1) is mizora, and 2) similarly expends tormented souls during her romance scene, even if for a different purpose. but it just... never really comes up?
i love karlach. but that seems like it should have gone Somewhere, from a writing standpoint? karlach values wyll as a person but is willing to use currency forged from souls like his for the sake of a temporary power up. she knows the soul is consumed when she uses them. that whole exchange with lann tarv is there to emphasize that every soul coin she destroys was a person once. but it all kind of loses narrative purpose if this combination of factors doesn't mean anything? karlach doesn't change at all in her willingness to use soul coins, no matter what the player says or how much she cares for wyll.
idk. missed opportunity that wyll doesn't have any dialogue about this, of all things.

Because of the implication that Karlach didn't know any of the more devious shit Gortash was doing while she was employed by him, I HC that he sold her at a point where he couldn't be as covert in his private dealings. Like it was a point where she clearly was going to be a liability and she's good. Too good. Like to her core.
And there isn't a whole lot different between himself and the tiefling rascal he took in so she could support the parents she loves so much. I think that at a certain point he'd just be kinda aggravated because, to him, her view of the world is so idealistic. I like the idea of him having a little bit of petty jealousy, but I can't see that being the motivator for the sale. I think he really believed she was strong enough to handle it - because he was strong enough to withstand the hells - and wanted her to be humbled, in a way. he needed her to have a taste of the real world, so to speak, because his understanding is that it's a cutthroat world and all people are pawns, regardless of age or relation.
that's not a way karlach can live tho
and then she comes back, broken, sure. she has her whole thing where she can consume the soul coins, which ultimately has her viewing lost souls as tokens/pawns in the way gortash sees all people, but she clearly struggles with it and it wasn't a choice she made, but something zariel pushed on her so she could survive.
regardless, karlach's optimism is unwavering and she's still so vivacious. She's angry, understandably so, she has scars, she's done shit she isn't proud of, but she, herself, was never corrupted. when she escapes, she immediately goes full hero mode, she just has the burden of the soul coins to bear bc NO ONE can come out of that situation completely unscathed. and remember the types of friends she made in the hells!!! her one only helps her if it comes with a double-edged sword. despite that, she doesn't prevent it from allowing her to bond with the companions.
so she comes back proof that you can go through what Gortash did and come out mostly in tact. you may be hurt, she shouldn't have HAD to go through that, but she's fighting for a better future for herself (even if that means dying to not return to avernus). Unlike Gortash, she doesn't need to bring the world to heel to pay for the cruelty it showed her.
in fact, everything she went through just makes her appreciate the little good in her life even more and motivates her to aggressively protect her friends.

Haul of Historic Coins Sells For $176,000 at Auction
A British man who found a massive cache of ancient Roman gold and silver coins while hunting with a metal detector has a lot more modern currency in his pocket after the treasure was auctioned off for $176,000.
George Ridgway, a trained archaeologist, investigated an unusual marking in a recently harvested field in Suffolk, England in September 2019, according to a news release from Noonans Auctions. He knew that a Roman road had once run close to the field, and thought there might be something to find.
Hours scouring the area turned up nothing, he said, but when he shifted his position by just 30 yards, he found two Roman brooches that dated back to the 1st century. Shortly after, he found a silver coin issued by Julius Caesar in 46 BC. Another three hours of searching turned up 160 more silver coins and some pottery fragments.
Tumblr media
"I knew I had made an important archaeological discovery and called my dad to guard the site overnight while we waited for an archaeological team to arrive and excavate the site," the 34-year-old said. "It took three months to recover the hoard."
During that excavation, researchers found even more coins, including gold pieces. In total, 748 coins, dated from as early as 206 B.C., were recovered. Alice Cullen, a coin specialist at the auction house, said it was one of the largest hoards of Iron Age and Roman coins found in the United Kingdom. The coins may have been buried by a long-serving soldier in Rome's XX Legion, who were once stationed in what would later be known as Colchester, England, Cullen said. There was a "fierce battle" in the area around 47 A.D., Cullen said, and a victim of the conflict may have been the person who buried the coins.
Sixty-three of the coins were claimed by the British Museum and the Colchester & Ipswich Museum, to be displayed in their collections, and the rest were auctioned. While the auction house expected the sale to garner about $100,000, it actually brought in more than $176,000, according to CBS News partner the BBC.

A coin issued by Gaius Caesar - also known as Caligula - decorated with a portrait of the Empress Agrippina and dated to A.D. 37-38 sold for about $9,295, according to the BBC. Another coin, issued by Claudius and dated to A.D. 41-42, sold for about $6,640.
Ridgway said the proceeds of the sale will be split between himself and the landowner of the site where the coins were found. He said that such a find has been like a dream come true.
"I was inspired by my childhood hero Indiana Jones to start history hunting when I was 4 years old, and I dreamed of finding a Roman hoard since my grandmother bought me a metal detector for my 12th birthday," Ridgway said. "It was an awe-inspiring moment when I realised that I had found one!"

DHMIS CULT OF THE LAMB AU BABYYYY
Tumblr media
Yellow Guy:
Amongst the chaos and war of the world, yellow and roy lived in the trees of darkwood while attempting to go unnoticed. Roy wasnt a follower of any of the bishops, attempting to start his own cult in his own name, which led heretics to seek him out. once they found him, he fled, leaving yellow behind. thankfully the lamb found him before any heretics did. Yellow guy is the only one out of the three who truly worship the lamb, seeing them as his savior (though he doesnt know that word)
Duck:
He was originally born in Anchordeep (where the duck follower form is found in-game) but he saw Kallamar as a coward, so he left to follow Heket, who he views as stronger and overall more thrilling to follow. His family was killed by heretics before he ever really got to know them, leaving him alone in Anura. While he worshipped Heket, he refused to give himself entirely to her, and his resistance lead others to target him. The danger forced him to relocate to Smugglers Sanctuary where he now scams people with ancient cryptocurrency. (Him and Mitas fucking hate eachother but they bond over being beat the shit out of by “customers”) (Also I know bird followers don’t have wings on their heads but bats/bees/butterflies do and i think thats not fair so i gave him some)
Red Guy:
Red guy is a ball of silk. Does that exist in game? not as a person, no, but shut up. In this au theres an entire community of silk people in silks cradle, who he was born and raised by but never truly connected with. He never disrespected Shamura while in their domain, but his apathy towards the idea of bishops caused others to dislike him and accuse him of blasphemy. he fled silks cradle and found home with the lamb, although he doesnt really worship them. He respects them for what they do but doesn’t look up to anyone as owning him. not anymore, anyway.

Found this lil ref sketch I did of one of my deckhands so I'll do a lil rant about them
There is Wilder and Wilcox (the twins, referred to as "The Wils") who are the youngest of the crew and also ex-pirates of an unknown group, Justice (around the same age as Edward) and Mad(dox), a viking man from Keraxe (for whom I have yet to settle on a backstory)
Tumblr media
Meet Wilcox, a young girl whose magic can expand further than Enizor's and protect the ship's hull from taking damage by adding a magic layer ontop. She and her brother were hanging out at Sailor's Lodge before Lynda arrived from the Stepstones and decided to join her crew, because, well, they needed the money.
The two of them also like to guess what Lynda was before the amnesia and they are completely honest with their opinions and unbothered by what others think

Victor found this ancient (1970s) Instamatic 155x Kodak camera in his closet yesterday, and now we're concocting a way to bring it to life again! Won't be easy, since the film format used on Instamatics (126 film) is no longer being manufactured, but it's a fun project
