<p>[QUOTE="YOC, post: 2009872, member: 58941"]On the subject of portrait variations ......I dont imagine the majority of subjects ever saw the Emperor....... how did they know what he looked like to engrave coins for him/her? I am guessing that people were sent with images drawn or carved to each official mint, or a master die? and the engravers did their best. Its odd to think, in the age of the internet and TV that images were not available at the touch of a button.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
