<p>[QUOTE="Terence Cheesman, post: 7565917, member: 86498"]Yes I know it is technically Sunday and I guess I am just a little bit late but okay I was talking to a friend a fellow CT er and we were discussing my rather small collection of Roman provincial coins. I must admit I do enjoy these coins but kept very few. One of them was this coin Trajan Ae 25 Caesarea Maritima 115 AD Obv Head right laureate Rv. Emperor togate standing left sacrificing over altar. RPC 3955 11.61 grms 25 mm Photo by W. Hansen[ATTACH=full]1304572[/ATTACH]What I like about this coin is that thought the image of Trajan is rather crudely drawn it still conveys something of the strength and vitality of the man. Despite being the image of a 63 year old man the image shows Trajan as a strong keen eyed individual with a firm jaw. Only the sagging flesh on the cheek betray the age of the individual portrayed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
