Bing Pillar of the Community United States 4253 Posts	Posted 12/14/2012 5:44 pm Chris, I think you have them all pretty darn good, except for maybe Vercingetorix for me. However, I like that better than Galba. The wife says she can stay with me as long as I continue to look like Vercingetorix and not Galba. I'll let you others decide who I might look like, but Chris you really did nail everyone else, including yourself. Report this Post to the Staff
Dionysos Valued Member Canada 472 Posts	Posted 12/14/2012 7:54 pm "in that photo, there seems to be a whole lot of action goin' on behind you, but you and your buddy (sitting beside you, at your feet) seem like you're happy enough just hangin' out trying to pick-up chicks?" Steve, I've edited out the rest of the scene from this painting as it was too "carnal". My girlfriend referred to the Leonidas in the movie 300, but I think I look more like the one I've posted (even if he's more of a "Village People" kind of Leonidas ). Report this Post to the Staff
Gil-galad Pillar of the Community United States 2044 Posts	Posted 12/14/2012 8:32 pm It's a terrible photo I took with my cheap webcam. So far I haven't been able to figure out who I might look like. Maybe you guys can figure it out? Edited by Gil-galad 12/14/2012 8:33 pm Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 12/14/2012 8:58 pm "All babies look like Winston Churchill" I have heard this quote a few times, and I think there is some truth in it! One of the guys I used to work with looked very much Antoninus Pius, complete with beard. Report this Post to the Staff

stevex6 Pillar of the Community 3352 Posts	Posted 12/15/2012 09:55 am Hey, hats-off to all of you coin dudes that posted photos of yourselves (it is very cool/interesting to see what some of you actually look like, right?) ... Aahahaha, I must admit that some of your "actual images" were completely different than the vague "mental-images" I had in my head ... but I think it's fantastic that I can now put a face to some of your coin-comments ... All of your photos made me smile when I saw them!! (I had already seen Ski's photo before in a different thread, but I don't think that I'd ever seen any photos of the rest of you heartbreakers?) ... I think that everyone gets full-points for letting-down your guards and exposing yourself to our often comedic, yet ruthless bunch of personalities!! bobbyhelmet's photo => "winner" Report this Post to the Staff
stevex6 Pillar of the Community 3352 Posts	Posted 12/15/2012 10:56 am Sorry Bing, but I was unable to find any Roman Rulers that fit your photo!!? ... I looked through all of my coins and then surfed around on the net looking for a match, but I came-up "empty"!! Then I decided that I'd try the Greek-side of the coin-world, to see if I could lasso a real Dead-Ringer!! ... I thought that I'd post of few Greek images just so you would believe me that I did try very hard to complete my assignment: NOTE => I promise that I'll "clean-up" my photo mess later on today, so I won't slow-down the site and risk being sent to coin-prison for a life-sentence (okay? ... thanks) Bing => first I tried to find a glimpse of your face in the images of the Greek Gods ... #1 ARES (GOD OF WAR): Quote: Edit - sigh => "NOPE" (sorry man, but I just don't see it ... even if the statue had a nose, I still can't make the leap) #2 EROS (GOD OF LOVE): Quote: Edit - sigh => "NOPE" (again I'm sorry => I just don't see it, ya know? #3 HERMES(MESSENGER OF THE GODS): Quote: Edit - sigh => "NOPE" (maybe it's just me? => eh, "NOPE") #4 APOLLO (GOD OF LIGHT): Quote: Edit - sigh => "HEY, MAYBE WE HAVE A WINNER!!? .... OH, UMMM => NOPE" (sorry Bing, for a sec I thought I saw a resemblance, but then it was gone ... my bad) #5 DIONYSOS (GOD OF WINE): Quote: Edit - sigh => When I read his God-Title I thought to myself "how hard could it be to be the God of Wine!!? => I am a shoe-in for that job if anything ever happens to Dionysos!! ... but sadly, as far as the God of Wine looking like you ... ummm? => "NOPE" #6 HADES (GOD OF UNDERWORLD): Quote: Edit - sigh => AWKWARD ummm, sorry champ => "NOPE" #7 POSEIDON (GOD OF THE SEA): Quote: Edit - sigh => Yah, I realize that you probably kinda want this one to be a match, but ummm? => "NOPE" #8 HEPHASSTUS (GOD OF FIRE): Quote: Edit - sigh => Really? Man, this is getting to be a bit repetitive, eh? => "NOPE" #9 ZEUS (KING OF GODS): Quote: Edit - sigh => Hey Bing ... maybe if you'd sent-in a few photos of yourself with a huge Santa-beard and/or with huge rippling-muscles then this task might be going a bit more smoothly, ya know? ... ummmm, but => "NOPE" Then I had an idea => sure, maybe Bing doesn't look exactly like one of the Greek Gods (I mean who does, right?) ... but maybe, just maybe Bing might looks like one of the other legendary Greek heroes? ... well, let's find out, shall we? #10 HERACLES (SON OF ZEUS, GIVEN 12 LABOURS TO COMPLETE): Quote: Edit - sigh => OH GREAT ... it seems as though the ol' acorn doesn't fall too far from the ol' tree! (the dude might as well be a God) => "NOPE" #11 PERSEUS (SON OF ZEUS, SLAYER OF MEDUSA): Quote: Edit - sigh => Actually Bing, this one was very close ... but then I realized that I was actually looking at Medusa, not Perseus => "NOPE" #12 ATLAS (GIANT WHO SUPPORTED THE EARTH ON HIS SHOULDER): Quote: Edit - sigh => RATS ... this guy wasn't a God, or one of God's sons, but still I couldn't quite give ya the ol' nod => "NOPE" At this point you can imagine that I started to panic just a wee bit, right? ... ummm, what if I never find a match for my coin-buddy!!? ... what if I let him down!! ... I only had one chance remaining ... #13 THESEUS (KING OF ATHENS, KILLED MINOTAUR): Quote: Edit - sigh => AND THEN SEEMINGLY OUT OF THE BLUE, THIS PHOTO POPPED-UP! => "WINNER, WINNER, CHICKEN DINNER" So Bing, I hope this helps out? ... I think that your wife should be very proud that she is married to Theseus!! Cheers Brother Julius sigh => another totally destroyed post (sorry gang) Edited by stevex6 12/15/2012 2:52 pm Report this Post to the Staff
