[QUOTE="PlanoSteve, post: 4258796, member: 91609"]Excellent, thorough, enjoyable post (although half way through I was rudely & briefly interrupted by the thought of a scene in Steel Magnolias!). Another example of the information & education which may be gleaned from the study of coins in the absence of written history/testimony. So, now I'm thinking, what if coins had been issued with my likeness over my lifetime...:smug:...wow...:jawdrop::woot:...:p:joyful:;). Using Faustina II as an example, do you suppose she sat with her "hair dresser" & discussed different "styles"?...do you suppose she was a trend setter or a trend follower?[/QUOTE]
