I have joined the Aureus Club. The membership dues ain’t cheap. But it’s nice to have something I’ve daydreamed about for 15 years.

Post yours, if you have one.

    Outstanding!!! Must feel great to have such an item.

    (I have my club membership application ready to go, just need to cobble together the dues.)

    He looks well fed. It is probably from late in his reign. Nice!
