<p>[QUOTE="Ken Dorney, post: 2517516, member: 76086"]It's not a bad fake, really. It is well rendered, but as with all fakes, the forger just doesn't quite capture the true nature of the work he is trying to copy. On the reverse, Livia is sadly reduced to having something akin to a dog turd on her head. Tiberius is decently rendered, but, well, comparing it to all known examples, it is just a modern interpretation of an ancient work. These are the things that help us to keep abreast with modern forgeries. It is far easier now in this age than it was 30 years ago.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
