<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Finn235, post: 3745798, member: 98035&quot;]I&#039;m enjoying these threads! I figured it would be fun to see how my favorite Roman portraits stack up against each other! It was tough picking just 10, but these are the ten that I probably come back to the most often!</p><p><br /></p><p>What draws me to Roman coins the most is their portraiture, and so that is the metric by which I have chosen my top 10. You can choose to vote by portrait only, or overall - it&#039;s up to you!</p><p><br /></p><p>1.
