In a small antiquities shop in a side alley in Naples, I recently purchased a Gold Roman Solidus dated 125 BC. The emperor stamped on the head side looked a lot like Obama.

You think Hadrian looks like Obama?

No doubt a prophesy by a sibyl of the Messiah forged in gold. As for the similarity, Obama cannot be a US citizen if he was born in the Roman Republic.

Rome was still a republic in 125 BC. Perhaps this is a figure of a consul, or a legendary king, or some divinity.

I would be very suspicious of a Roman coin that was dated 125 BC. After all, the Romans did not use Arabic numerals.
