<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2046705, member: 19463"]Vis-a-vis portraits have the problem that what looks good on him usually does not look good on her. Then there is the question as to whether you should match the lighting of the obverse to that of the reverse. Valentinian's image does this last but Julia looks better than Septimius. Your two faces match but the reverse doesn't. Getting the both of these at the same time is a task at which I usually fail.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
