Heinekn Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Hey... I had this idea to fashion a coin modelled after the ancient Roman Spintriae sex coins...my description of them is below. I made a .dds file with the coin images in place. But i do not know how to give the coin the 3D part ofd the image. Can someone who knows how, do it for me? Thanks... Heinekn Explanation of the coin: It's a replacement for the coin. The images on the coin are x-rated, but authentic reproductions of the actual coins. And for one intrepretation of the coins... Spintriae, somewhat smaller than a quarter and struck from brass or bronze, typicallydepicts an X-rated scene on one face and a Roman numeral from I to XVI on the other. They’re thought to have been minted somewhere between the years 22 and 37, during the reign of the emperor Tiberius, about whom more later. Typical rates for prostitutes at the time were somewhere in the range of two to 10 asses(giggle if you must, but yes, the basic unit of Roman currency was called the as), which lines up fairly well with the one-to-16 range imprinted on the coins. Throw in the fact that the hanky-panky is shown taking place in a luxury setting,possibly suggestive of a high-rent cathouse, and you can understand why many haveguessed that spintriae were in fact standardized sex tokens, with the number on theback naming the fee for the act shown on the front. Offered in support of this conclusion is a study by a Warsaw professor who surveyed modern-day prostitutes (ah, academia) and found that their higher- and lower-pricedservices corresponded to acts pictured on the higher- and lower-numbered tokensrespectively. Anyway...now you may claim the nudity in the game is historical...smiles. Heinekn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabbit1251 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 As a side note 'porna' is the Roman word for prostitute from which we take pornographic from. Rabbit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
