Do you have any thing that you would call your good luck charm?A shirt?A rock?Anything!I have a twenty sided D&D dice for my good luck charm.Seeing as my uncle uses a program on his computer for the dice we don't need the regular dice so that where I got my 20 sided dice from. :D

I have a four-leaf clover. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
I find a lot of them at work, so I have collected about 10 so far.

I have a quarter that my Da put on a railroad track, and let the train run over it, flattening it. It has the year I was born on it, and you can still see it. (I've had it for 36 years) *LOL*

I also have a piece of amber I got in Israel that has a dragonfly in it.

A one Dollar bill, i have it for as long i can remember. I carry it with me whereever i go. :D

Nope no charms for me. Don't really believe in 'em.

Well I'm not superstitious so don't believe in good luck charms. But having said that, I carry a Roman coin around with me - it has the goddess Fortuna (luck) on one side. The main reason I carry it is because it was given to me by someone special [img]smile.gif[/img]
Also it is quite nice to carry something that is over 1750 years old [img]smile.gif[/img]

Whoa Epona, that must be worth quite a lot of money, did you have that examined ? Btw, why are you still here, aren't you supposed to be partying your ass off by now ? :D </font>[/QUOTE]johnny, alas no! It's a bronze coin from the reign of Gallienus (about AD250). Most roman coins, especially the later ones are not worth a lot of money, there are thousands of the things about. Some of the early ones from the Republican period would be worth a fair bit! I also have a silver coin from around AD240, that's worth about £30, I won it in a raffle.

For me it is the novelty value of having something that old. I also have part of a roman bronze fibula (a brooch used to pin a toga), also given to me by my bf who has quite a collection of roman stuff - mostly coins and brooches.

Here's a picture of a rather nice fibula, mine is plainer than this and a bit corroded but in fairly good nick.
