<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ryro, post: 3372601, member: 91461&quot;]Doug, I was hoping you would reply to this thread to add some of your Pescennius coins. However, I am very grateful that you added the coins that you did. That 1st Rome mint from 193 has got to have one of the most beautiful portraits of Septimius that I have seen! The detail in the eyes, forehead, nose and hair is simply amazing.</p><p>In regards to the coins of the vanquished not being removed from circulation, I have always assumed that it is due to the fact that most of the coins that we see were so far removed from Rome and imperial intrigue that the commoners who had them either had no idea who was on them or didn&#039;t care to ruin their hard earned denarii. Though I do like the idea of emperor&#039;s leaving them in circulation as a way of reminding others of what happens when you challenge the man![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
