<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Blake Davis, post: 3909812, member: 91820&quot;]I have not seen such high relief in any other bronze except for the Julia Domna referenced in the article (Hilaritas reverse) but even that was not as high as on this Geta. Is that of significance? Probably not - I have come across high relief sestertii of Severus Alexander that were still poor executed - perhaps the celator was having a conversation with someone and screwed up the portrait and had to dig deeper to fix it. The point is that high relief doesn’t automatically mean superb artistry although it certainly can be an important part of why a coin is beautifully done -&nbsp; my opinion anyway, but I know little about art other than what appeals to me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
