[QUOTE="Alegandron, post: 2697660, member: 51347"]This is an interesting observation for me. Out of all my collection, I never really thought to compare sizes of my Ancients to modern coins. YEARS ago, I used to collect American moderns, and of course, as an American, I sometimes use coins (LOL, I use a card for EVERYTHING). However, I really never thought to compare Ancient sizes to common coins. LOL, now, I am going to keep coins in my desk just to "size them up" to my ancients as they land! Cool, and dopey-ole-me for not comparing them before. Funny, I keep a couple British Pounds (actually Welsh Dragon reverse) in my drawer for comparisons... Since I do not really collect Roman Empire, save for having a representative coin from many of the Roman Rulers, I only have this ONE pedestrian Septimus Severus to share (sorry gang if you have seen this many time...) I kinda like [USER=44132]@Bing[/USER] 's observation for other hairstyles... but he must have used SPOOLIES for his bust carving session...
