<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 2344677, member: 42773&quot;]All circulating and most commemorative US coins are variations on Roman themes. Bust of ruler or personification (Liberty) on obverse? The Romans did that. Lettering around the edges? Romans did that also. Dates on the coins? Romans (although according to different calendars). Seated or standing personifications on the reverse? Romans. Buildings? Romans. Busts left, right, facing, jugate? Romans. Eagles? Romans. Wreaths? Chinese. (Haha, just kidding - ROMANS!)</p><p><br /></p><p>And the Romans were inspired by the coinage of earlier Greek cultures, which had come up with all of those themes in one form or another, long before the She-Wolf suckled Remus and Romulus.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
