[QUOTE="Severus Alexander, post: 7752558, member: 84744"]I agree, that is a phenomenal portrait of Titus as Caesar! I enjoyed this bit of (presumably intentional) irony! Of course it makes total sense, but I imagine it would sound quite funny to a non-collector. :D I agree it's easier to find a nice portrait of Titus as Augustus. Here's my favourite (you've seen it before, but this is a new photo): [ATTACH=full]1327708[/ATTACH] Thanks, [USER=98035]@Finn235[/USER]! As you know, I think your T-bone is spectacular, as is that Quintillus! Wonderful Pupienus too. Here's that A. Pi: [ATTACH=full]1327713[/ATTACH] I think it's pretty hard to find portraits of Marcus Aurelius that don't look cartoonish. Here's one I'm pretty happy with: [ATTACH=full]1327716[/ATTACH] Later gets harder. It's almost impossible to find a nice-style portrait of Gallienus post 260, for example. Here's one that I think is pretty decent: [ATTACH=full]1327718[/ATTACH] (VICTORIA AVG III too!)[/QUOTE]
