[QUOTE="Pavlos, post: 3733261, member: 96635"]True that some portraits can be relatively easy, especially in Roman imperials/provincials when the emperor's name is clearly written on it. However, you can always try to hide this by using paint or something, if you want to make it more challenging, I think that is a quite good idea. I'm also sure some can be more difficult than you think, even when I look in my own small collection there are still some quite challenging ones. On the end it's just a game for fun where trying is never wrong and sometimes you just need to guess when you are not so sure if it is correct :). If Zeus is not correct, you can always try Poseidon etc. That is right :) [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/A5GI9cR.jpg[/IMG] [B]Mysia, Pergamon. Asklepios bronze coin. (133–27 B.C.)
