[QUOTE="Marsyas Mike, post: 4723979, member: 85693"]That is an absolutely superb portrait, Sulla80. This is why I like Commodus' coins so much. Despite the "decadence" of his reign, I think the portraiture is among the best of that era. Another nice thing is that you can find him as a beardless kid as well: [ATTACH=full]1157334[/ATTACH] [B]Commodus Æ Sestertius (177 A.D.) Rome Mint [/B] IM[P L A]VREL C[OM]MODVS AV[G GERM SARM], laureate, draped and cuirassed bust right / [TR P II COS P P S-C], [D]E GERM in exergue, two captives seated at foot of trophy. RIC 1556 (Aurelius). (21.71 grams / 31 x 29 mm)[/QUOTE]
