<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Clavdivs, post: 3564860, member: 93702&quot;]Late Roman coins can have some very striking portraits - but as we know they can also feature some crude artwork and some coins of very poor quality of manufacture.</p><p><br /></p><p>Lately I have really enjoyed looking for LRBs of good quality but also featuring some unusual portraiture - as the artwork slowly evolved (or devolved depending on your opinion) we see some very interesting coins. I am really warming to them and look forward to collecting more portraits that I believe are in good style - just very different from the first and second century coins I had previously been focused on.</p><p><br /></p><p>So a section of my collection will in time feature </p><p><b>&quot;The Rogues Gallery ..AKA..&nbsp; LRBs Most Outrageous Portraits &quot;</b></p><p><br /></p><p>... so far a really enjoyable side project and one that is quite affordable in most cases - that adds to the fun! I&#039;ve really enjoyed scouring VCoins and various auctions looking for potential targets... I think you will like (or hate?) my latest addition.</p><p><br /></p><p>I started with a Constantine:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/constantinemerge-jpg.903502/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Things amped up a bit with this Licinius:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/upload_2019-5-24_21-20-23-png.940199/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><b>My latest</b> <b>Licinius</b> - we are nearing peak awesomeness !!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://images.vcoins.com/product_image/96/4/6/4Loye9HSAx3Dp5W82Hm7Bta697cDMf.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>haha - I love it!!
