    I did a reshoot of the Faustina I Ceres as, with somewhat better results.

    I still need to work on lighting, especially with dark, rough bronzes.

    I'm in love with my Fau2 Sestertius because even though she's not the most beautiful I've seen, she's the biggest I've seen at 34.7gm. Faustina2 - 34'7 1490 JDW (=NAC 1480) Obv.jpg Faustina2 - 34'7 1490 JDW (=NAC 1480).jpg
