<p>[QUOTE="Guilder Pincher, post: 3063232, member: 87595"]I received my first ever Marcus Aurelius today and took some macro photos, this looks like the best thread to share them in. I look for a good, strong portrait more than anything else on ancient coins and yeah, MA sure is more hit and miss than many other emperors in that regard.. This one I quite liked, especially the eye which has been rendered more realistically than on some portraits I've seen. All this is of course just my own personal preference, there's nothing wrong with liking the large eyes. You could say there's something for everyone in MA's portraiture <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. He does look like Donald Sutherland at times though doesn't he? It's the shape of the nose I'm sure..[ATTACH=full]768639[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]768640[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]768642[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]768643[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
