<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 2488057, member: 76194&quot;]I see your S. Severus Neptune denarii also has a very nice portrait, like mine and [USER=21445]@Mat[/USER] &#039;s, but the reverse Neptune is also a bit of a letdown compared to the obverse. I guess that&#039;s starting to lend weight to the idea that they really wanted the Emperor&#039;s portrait to stand out, so they let top notch celators work on that, and they gave the reverse work to rookies an apprentices with not a lot of experience. There is no way the guys that worked on our obverses are the same that worked on those reverses of Neptune.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s a shame, but personally, I would not trade the great obverse for anything else. I&#039;m willing to live with the killer portrait even if it means having to also look at the rookie reverse carved by a trainee fresh to the mint.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
