    Thanks! I’ve been trying to save a bit more and get the best examples I can get even if they cost more as long as it’s within reason :).

    I also love how it commemorates the Battle of Actium like my other one.

    I saw the auction photo. The first photos in the topic are much more expressive. Are these your photos via slab?
