    Lots of great posts, thank you!! I especially love that dupondius, @alde.

    Seems like he looks a bit more wide-eyed as Augustus. On yours he looks like he's watching a horror movie, @Mikey Zee!

    Absolutely did. Mycenae was the biggest pleasant surprise of the trip. Bummer the Mycenaean Civilization didn't use coinage.
    That's a super high grade example Mike with a cool reverse as well. I also think he looks a bit surprised... maybe he's just keeping a leery eye on that lady who is sacrificing stuff ;)

    Thanks SA. I love seeing age progression on the portraits. AP and Marcus Aurelius are good examples.
    You can even see the wrinkles on his forehead on the dupondious. You can also see the hood on the cobras head and the offering in the patera.
