jessvc1 Pillar of the Community United States 2596 Posts	Posted 11/18/2014 11:06 am I was looking at coins and found a reverse that is very similar to my avatar coin. Could it be the same engraver? Edited by jessvc1 11/18/2014 11:20 am Report this Post to the Staff

Look at how the feet are rendered (and where in relation to the P) and look at the style of the gloak and the trophy. Report this Post to the Staff

I was confused about that as well, until I realised that when he said "avatar coin", he didn't mean what he was using at that exact moment for an avatar, which was an Antoninus Pius coin. Antoninus Pius did not issue a denarius with Mars walking and VIRTVS AVG legend. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
