<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1066661, member: 19463&quot;]The Vesta temple as is a very nice coin. Compared to most Julia bronzes, I&#039;d call this one a real keeper. I do not have an example but offer here a sestertius of the same period with a seated Vesta reverse (in poor shape). Both coins show a Late Julia portrait where the eye is becoming almond shape not all that unlike 5th century BC Athenian silver. I do not know why this was done or why I have not seen it for other persons of the period. Perhaps it was a signature of one cutter of dies???</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.acsearch.info/search.html?search=similar%3A82445&amp;view_mode=1#15" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.acsearch.info/search.html?search=similar%3A82445&amp;view_mode=1#15" rel="nofollow">http://www.acsearch.info/search.html?search=similar:82445&amp;view_mode=1#15</a>[CODE][/CODE][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
