<p>[QUOTE="Al Kowsky, post: 5154517, member: 97383"]Donna, This is a wonderful selection of coins <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />! My favorite is #18, the Balbinus denarius. This coin reaches the epitome of 3rd century portraiture <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie57" alt=":jawdrop:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. My next favorite would be the Galba denarius, #14. Unlike most of the stern, fearsome portraits we usually see of Galba, this coin without the typical laurel wreath, exposes his human side. My next favorite would be #19, the bronze of Julian II. I like the strange, atypical portrait on this coin, depicting him as a wise, old philosopher. An honorable mention should go to the angry hippo <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie4" alt=":mad:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> in the midst of her slow charge.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
