[QUOTE="Mikey Zee, post: 2538420, member: 72818"]Cool OP!! Well, I chose Claudius because Suetonius' description of him always struck me as the exact opposite of how an Emperor would appear in person LOL And, I think I had those traits while 'partying' at Universityo_O:D "Claudius had a certain dignity of presence, which showed to best advantage when he happened to be standing or seated and expressing no emotion. This was because, though tall, well-built, handsome with a fine head of white hair and a firm neck, he stumbled as he walked owing to weakness of the knees; and because, if excited by play or serious business, he had several disagreeable traits. They included an uncontrollable laugh, a horrible habit, under the stress of anger of slobbering at the mouth and running at the nose, a stammer and persistent nervous tick---which grew so bad under emotional stress that his head would toss from side to side." This bronze (As) with the bust and reverse of CONSTANTIA probably was struck at Rome, RIC 111, although I just discovered I hadn't followed up on it after purchase many months ago:eek: T CLAVDIVS CAESAR AVG PM TR P IMP PP CONSTANTIAE AVGUSTI/ S C [ATTACH=full]543585[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]543586[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
