Most ancients collectors believe that stripping a coin down to bare metal like this is "bad", since in many cases the best-preserved details only survive in the green layer. Quote: But who stands as a model on the coin the man and woman. T0rress answered that in his second and third posts. On the obverse, with the two facing busts, the man on the left is the Roman emperor Caracalla; the woman on the left is the emperor's mother, Julia Domna. On the reverse, the standing female figure is the goddess Tyche, goddess of good luck, fortune, trade and the protector of cities. The large letter "E" to her left is the denomination mark, the Greek numeral "5". The coin is a pentassarion, worth 5 asses. 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
