[QUOTE="TIF, post: 2437142, member: 56859"]Welcome, rg3! Yes, there are many ancient statues (and various architecture) on ancient coins. While there are some extant statues and structures, some are only known from coins. As Mikey Zee posted, Trajan's Column is a good example of a structure still standing, although the statue of Trajan atop the column was lost in the middle ages, replaced with St. Peter in the sixteenth century.
