[QUOTE="Sallent, post: 2718254, member: 76194"]Ancients tend to vary as far as strike. Roman coins typically had a fair bit of deep relief comparable to the relief of earlier US. coins, or perhaps a little bit more (depends on the particular issue). Ancient Greeks went crazy with deep relief. Some of their coins really take relief to the extreme. It may not be too easy to tell from these pictures, but the artwork on these coins really pop out.
