<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2389836, member: 19463&quot;]From a style standpoint, it seems left facing Caracalla tets are more interesting than the right facing ones.&nbsp; I wish we had a better answer for why some portraits were &#039;special&#039; and others were ordinary.&nbsp; Of this group, I like the Domitian best but part of that is condition of the coin and the fact that it is not just another eagle.&nbsp; As with chariots on Roman Republicans, it is easy to develop a feeling that you have seen enough of the usual types even though they are well executed and different in some minor way.&nbsp; I&#039;m not particularly proud of that attitude but it is why I could never be a specialist in, for example, Lincoln cents.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
