<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Terence Cheesman, post: 8341195, member: 86498&quot;]Sestertius of Galba 68 AD Obv. Head right laureate Rv. Concordia seated left RIC 339 25.40 grms 32 mm Photo by W. Hansen[ATTACH=full]1479097[/ATTACH]This has to be my favorite image of Galba not because of the portrait. Whoever cut this die captured with great fidelity how the skin of Galba&#039;s face is drawn so very tightly over his skull. That is genius. However after achieving the perfect image of a hard bitten Roman military man he gives him &quot;kissy lips&quot;. Galba looks like he is ready to kiss somebody.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
