[QUOTE="Sallent, post: 2620972, member: 76194"]The problem with some imperial denarii is that there was no consistency. This Neptune issue for S. Severus while he was on campaign in Britania seems to have the best and most life-like obverse I have ever seen of Seprimius, but the reverse sucks. And it's not just my coin. I've compared it to the same type of coin which other here also have, and it seems to be an issue all the way around with this type of denarii. Oh well, it's still worth showing off as the best portrait style for this Emperor. [ATTACH=full]575011[/ATTACH] That being said, Roman Republic mint officials were not perfect either. Look at the nose on my latest Republican denarius. Le ouch! LOL:D She looks like she got a beating worse than Ronda Rousey.
