Since he has a Lugdunum denarius of Augustus as his avatar I thought that I would kick things off with a few denarii of Augustus from Lugdunum that I either own now or have owned ... The ever popular Caius and Lucius Caesars type (I had to part with this one a couple of years back after losing my job):- a capricorn reverse:- and a Apollo Citharoedus reverse:- Regards, Martin Report this Post to the Staff

maridvnvm Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2100 Posts	Posted 11/24/2010 04:58 am Meldercat, I use a Canon EOS 400D DSLR (known as the Rebel XTi in the USA, I think). I also use a Macro lens. I took a while to get a lighting setup that I found that worked for me. Now all I have to do is attach the camera to my tripod and I am ready. I am always careful to adjust the white balance using a grey card before a session. By the way that aureus is lovely! Martin Report this Post to the Staff
