[QUOTE="maridvnvm, post: 4688849, member: 31620"]Sometimes we look at coins and take them at face value but don't see the story behind them. Lincinus II was raised to Caesar on 1st March A.D. 317 at the age of 20 months old. Thus when we see the coin below and see the image of the little Caesar we must remember that he was barely more than a toddler. Despite many issues with the coin I was taken with the portrait of the young Caesar.
