The series portrays a pantheon of eleven deities: Jupiter, Minerva, Roma, Neptune, Tiber, Mars, Venus, Apollo, Mercury, Bacchus/Liber, and Hercules. Types are primarily a portrait of the god, with an attribute on the reverse and are usually influenced by (but not directly copied from) earlier designs, primarily from the Republic. He updates the series to the reigns of Hadrian and Antoninus.</p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p><p style="text-align: left"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: left"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: left">And one from my specialty:</p> <p style="text-align: left"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: left"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: left"><br /></p></p> <p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/18271/normal_00008x00.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center"><b>ROME</b>​.
