That said, I personally would find it more useful if you provided more info about your posted coins (a twenty page thesis isn't what I'm suggesting, but rather some short comments about the ruler and especially the full attribution from RIC or wildwinds or whatever). Eye candy is great, but I have much to learn about Roman coins and so a little more details about the coin would be super cool. Thx.

Spence Moderator United States 34427 Posts	Posted 09/08/2017 7:58 pm @imperator, I hope that you will forgive me for reincarnating your thread into a zombie, but I was recently at the Toledo (OH) Museum of Art and happened upon this bust of Emperor Domitian. It dates to about 90 AD and the accompanying placard had quite a bit of information about his official darn ation (funny autocorrect @bobby!) by the senate. I was particularly fascinated by what it said about the accuracy of his likeness: Quote: Look closely at where the hair's curls meet the forehead. Can you tell Domitian is wearing a wig? Roman sculptors often took careful pains to create a frank and accurate description of their subjects, not hiding the fact that the powerful man had a recessed jaw and a receding hairline.
