[QUOTE="Wojtek, post: 2941668, member: 88607"]I intend to create some resources aimed at getting new people interested in this topic. There is a lot online, but nothing really easy in my native language (polish). I feel it's my duty, especially when our new government decided to reform education and among many changes, remove history of ancient europe from curriculum. It's just like they try to teach kids that there was God, later Christ was born (not so important where and when) and right after his crucifiction, great Poland was born to prosper :-)) I have one more Septimius Severus denarius. Tried to compare many images I found online and I'm inclined to believe it's from Rome. Looked for some distinctions in style. Tell me please if I'm more or less right. Laodicean portraits are not that full - frame of head is a bit smaller and because of that, eyes seem bigger. Often neck is thinner and longer, also cheeks are less considerable. I think word "shriveled" fits here :-) I'd love to hear oppinions on this denarius. I think it's Rome. Fingers crossed. [ATTACH=full]716416[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]716417[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
