[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2928544, member: 19463"]As I get older I find my memory for names and faces of people I meet becoming more a problem for me. However my long term memory of over a hundred'old friends' whose faces I only know from coins experienced over the last 50+ years is still going strong. I'm not claiming familiarity with many late Romans whose coins are barely human looking or tend to look alike but faces like Nero (young, old, Provincial, Imperial) are things we tend to learn at least as well as some of our cousins who live out of town. I, too, only have a right facer from Antioch [ATTACH=full]710612[/ATTACH] but there are lefties from Alexandria (with Tiberius right) [ATTACH=full]710611[/ATTACH] and Macedon. [ATTACH=full]710613[/ATTACH] I note on our Antioch coins that the 'NERO' part of the legend is at the left of the left facer and at the right of the right facers. I wonder if that is consistent.[/QUOTE]
