Guess the Emperor

Some of you regular posters are very good with ancient coins. I'll see if we can stump you. I'll start out with an easy one and then we'll step it up.

caracalla

 

Vote for Caracalla too, but some portraits of adult Geta are like that too...

 

I say caracalla , or Geta too.
But just to keep it interesting i'd say it could also be Commodus. I have seen some bearded protraits of him too if i remember correctly.

 

Caracalla, without a doubt. Such severe Severan eyebrows!

 

Older Geta portraits seldom look quite as brutal as Caracalla...

 

For sure Drusus, but they were brothers, weren't they ?
Certainly not Commodus, definetly not

 

They WERE brothers and their young adult portraits do look a bit similar. There is no chance is Commodus.

 

Guido...I know it's caracalla, but there was an emperor Guido and I'd love to know if there were any coins of his that exist (he reigned in around 888 AD)

 

Guido was a Holy Roman Emperor appointed in 892, I think, as co emperor with his son Lambert.

I have seen coins of his son Lambert of Spoleto but none of Guido, not to say they do not exist.


Lambert of Spoleto

 

An image of "old" Geta (he's never been very old though)

 

Yes Caracalla. I thought that after he was picked someone would throw a Geta at it. A bearded Geta is on my list of coins to grab.

 

Curve ball.


I have a tough time with these.

 

Nero

 

Otacilia Severa

 

Oh, I thought you were asking about Spock and Ardatirion?

 

Keep guessing.

Mrbrklyn, I'm pretty sure Nero would've wrapped a pork chop around your neck and thrown you to the lions for calling him a lady.

i agree with Ardatirion I think it's an Otacilia Severa coin

 

Napolean the II
