<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Curtis, post: 8233363, member: 26430&quot;]I guess I&#039;m in the plurality of opinions, though I see a lot of beautiful Latin Ladies here! I went for the following Faustina II because of the beautiful obverse from -- in Artemide Aste&#039;s oft-used charming phrase -- &quot;masterly engraved dies.&quot; (Even with that cut on her neck, which looks old. Wonder if someone symbolically cut her jugular in antiquity?)</p><p><br /></p><p>My photo with only cropping, not &quot;processed&quot; to correct for lighting:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1447845[/ATTACH]</p><p>My processed obv/rev photos and the original Artemide photos.</p><p>[ATTACH]1447847[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]1447846[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>And, for the numismatic bibliophile, L. Forrer&#039;s slim volume didn&#039;t focus on the Latin ladies, but the related topic of Portraits of Royal Ladies on Greek Coins (Argonaut reprint). Mostly Hellenistic, naturally. There were some Roman Provincials mentioned, including Zenobia, whose portraits, like those of Cleopatra VII, tried to portray her more as warrior-queen than prom-queen.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1447841[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
