What a stunning set of coins. My particular favourite, which coincides with my current reading about Roman Britain, is the amazing Carausius coin....
I agree, they all have excellent expressive portraits. It's remarkable the quality you can get for smaller prices with patience and luck.
Truly stunning coins there friend.
Enjoyed it very much Sallent. An excellent selection.

My mistake Rob, I assumed (I assented to a false impression haha) that you were referring to the commonly shared quote which says 'Everything we...
As for your specific question, the Stoics did exactly what you seem to be hoping for. They advocate the examination of impressions before giving...
