[QUOTE="Herodotus, post: 7935428, member: 111387"]I just reshot this one with different lighting. It looks a lot duller than a previous photo taken with a cell phone & flash that highlights more depth with the shadowing. Someday, I'll figure out this coin photo thing. One of my favorite Roman Imperial coins is this broad sestertius. This guy played a major role in the Claudian part of the Julio-Claudian dynasty. He also was one of the only Roman Generals to have far-reaching success campaigning in Germania.
