<p>[QUOTE=&quot;David Atherton, post: 2789792, member: 82616&quot;]During the Renaissance antiquarians used denarii to help identify unknown marble busts and statues as emperors. Certainly, they had their work cut out for them with variable results. Otho&#039;s denarii are much closer to the &#039;effeminate, pudgy wig wearing&#039; emperor we all know so well. It probably had something to do with the Roman engraver&#039;s proximity to their subject the provincials lacked.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]647653[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
