<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3173210, member: 19463"]To the right of Aequitas is probably a workshop number VI (?). I'll let you research the question of whether you want to disagree with TIF on the emperor or not. I could suggest the general rule of disagreeing with TIF in areas in which she is not expert. Your goal is to develop a gut feeling for things like small chin, pinched features, and neck beard without actually considering those features too seriously. You want to develop the abiliity to recognize these 200 some Romans rather like you do your Uncle Fred who you haven't seen for a few years. Try an acsearch on both emperors and Aequitas and see what you see. There are several mints and other variations so you may want to see more coins than the two below (from my trade stock). Without legends, one of these should look like Claudius and one Gallienus. Ask your son if he can explain what is 'odd' about the Claudius below.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]816029[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]816031[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
