<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 2216593, member: 42773&quot;]I love finding Roman coins that evince a master&#039;s hand - an engraver who could take common themes and imbue them with uncommon detail and passion. Here&#039;s an ant of Valerian I with a bust so finely and realistically chiseled, it looks like the long-gone emperor could begin speaking at any moment.</p><p><br /></p><p>And the reverse is no yeoman&#039;s rendition of a waif - she&#039;s appropriately capacious, with rich, flowing robes and a burgeoning cornucopia. Sure, some of the letters are off-flan, but you don&#039;t dump a girl just because she&#039;s missing a few teeth. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>(Actually, she takes up so much of the flan, she had to push the inscription out of the way.)</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]433620[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
