[QUOTE="Paul M., post: 5306955, member: 73165"]You're quite welcome for the compliment on your coin. And, yes, that is an excellent painting. Honorius gets a little bit of a bad rap, but you have to remember he became emperor at 10 years old. He wasn't ready to lead the Empire, and it wasn't really his fault that he was exactly what the Empire didn't need at that time. I've definitely seen those solidii around, and, yes, they're fairly affordable for a gold coin of their size. But, I've been thinking about going for a siliqua, just because they seem to be a little more rare overall than either his bronzes or his gold issues, especially in reasonable condition with good eye appeal. Given his legacy, it might also be oddly appropriate to pick up a barbarous coin depicting him. :)[/QUOTE]
