    Vespasian’s secret to looking slim on coins? Suck in those cheeks like the empire depends on it.! He really mastered the original ‘duck face’ centuries before Instagram.

    Proof that not every hero's journey smells like roses. Our hero here prepared for a roar, but instead got the lion’s 'silent-but-deadly' technique.

    Here's a small Vandalic bronze Roman AE4 imitative. The pronounced obverse die break makes the portrait serve to illustrate Jesus' famous Matthew 7:3-5 teaching:
    "Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye..."
