<p>[QUOTE=&quot;4to2centBC, post: 2320517, member: 76181&quot;]The kind of coin that anyone would want. The portrait bears a quality and style similar to a fine Zeus found on the Macedonian Tets of Philip. The portraits of Hadrian are amongst my favorites on Roman Coinage. A strong profile that shows heavy Greek influence. </p><p><br /></p><p>I would thumb through the catalog and wonder who would walk off with this coin. A stunning portrait with a delicately engraved reverse. The reverse is the story of Rome itself. R&amp;R do not look like hastily carved cartoons. They are wonderfully detailed and the human form is perfectly captured. These dies were engraved by someone who had skill and pride.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>A coin worthy of a museum................and it is all yours. Excellent.</p><p><br /></p><p>btw even the best Nero can&#039;t stand up to Hadrian. Hadrian looks like a God, Nero...not so much.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
