<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 2196608, member: 42773&quot;]Steve, that&#039;s astonishingly good detail on a bust that fits onto such a small coin. The engraver was definitely an artist. I&#039;ll drag out one forward-facing bust, of Honorius. The low-relief on these late Romans does not help the design one bit. Usually the face is smashed and indistinct. This is one of the better examples, except I wish the reverse had struck up fully.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]427510[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
