[QUOTE="Limes, post: 7305996, member: 101013"]Thank you all for the replies, and lovely coins are shown. I really enjoy seeing the dexiosis reverses[I] ;)[/I] Yes, it makes one wonder how come he was put forward as emperor. However, he had a good track record and had fulfilled several high positions. Did the murderers of Domitian, who elevated Nerva to the throne, underestimate the power of the military? That's a great portrait! And good photo's too, it makes the coin come alive so to say. My portrait displays Nerva a bit like a grumpy old man. The difference is in the eyebrows. :-) As he ruled a mere two years, his coins are not that abundant, but expensive, no. According to Clive Foss in his book, the coin with the clasped hands is the most common of his coins. Shouldn't be too expensive![/QUOTE]
