[QUOTE="Kaleun96, post: 4972722, member: 92635"]Thanks for the nice comments on the coin and the photography! I'm glad the extra detail hasn't taken away from the beauty of the coin. I'm not much of a LRB collector but I had to make an exception for this one ;) I can't get over how large and imposing a figure they make the Roman soldier compared to the lowly barbarian and their horse. I also love the exaggerated upper body proportions of the soldier, almost something out of a cartoon (e.g. Johnny Bravo). The other coin I like in this "propaganda" regard is that of Perseus holding Medusa's decapitated head over her lifeless body. But in this case, it's against the Romans.[/QUOTE]
