[QUOTE="Gallienus, post: 5306198, member: 42034"]I'm going to definitely change the background of my late Roman page to this after your comment. Painted in 1883 yet so classical it's called "The Favorites of Honorius" and depicts perfectly the negligent attitude of the 5th century Emperor. [ATTACH=full]1223873[/ATTACH] [B][COLOR=#0000b3]The Favorites of Honorius, 1883, John Waterhouse[/COLOR][/B] Thanks for the comments on the Julius Nepos. I was very lucky to get that piece: it was on a fixed price list by Ed Waddell; some years ago just before rarer Roman gold became more expensive. I should mention that if you're careful, you should be able to pick out a nice mint state Honorius gold solidus at a reasonable price in one of the European auctions.
