    Confusion occasionally reigns supreme, but then, how much fun would it be if everything in life was always as well organized as the inimitable Mussolini proverbially making the trains run on time? :rolleyes:

    That's certainly a very interesting and definitely unique denomination!

    I'll say; that is most definitely a prominent hand!

    This one doesn't have such a prominent hand, but the one hand particularly is very expressive:

    Another very stately, regal and in this case, intricately detailed coin,

    WOW at @Stork and @old49er's medals.

    Here's one for "hands".

    Roman bronze As of the emperor Nerva, ca. 96-98 AD.

    Let's do "stern facial expressions" next.

    The "clasped hands" image is a somewhat unusual and particularly memorable touch, and the bust is no slouch either, being, in fact, exceptionally distinctive.

    It's a CONCORDIA EXERCITVVM type. "Harmony with the army", or something along those lines.

    Kind of the First century equivalent of "support the troops", I suppose, but also with some propaganda slant suggesting how good a commander-in-chief the emperor was.

    Next person may continue with "hands", if desired, or go with "stern facial expressions". There were quite a few frowny-faced Roman emperors. Galba and Nerva certainly come to mind.

    Here's Galba, on a big sestertius.

    [​IMG]

    He was quite the sourpuss.
