Wow TIF, gorgeous!! (nice coin too!!) ... but uh-oh, Oki is gonna be jealous of that sweet Hadrian?! Oh wait a minute => he has an example posted, directly above!! (small world, eh?) ... ooops, I guess his is Nilus, not Serapis
WOW stunning, much better picture than CNG I am so happy, with you getting this coin, there were many nice hadrian coins, i missed sale, but looking at the results, i was not sure i would have won any. Thank you for sharing. All the best, Your coin friend eric
TIF => how come you gave Oki such short legs?!! (man, that's cold) ... awesome animation-skills (full-points, Princess)
I only drew the upper part of the legs. The rest is off the page. (Okay, that's not true. But it could be )
