<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Steelers72, post: 4749662, member: 112504&quot;]Been studying Galba denarii and have been researching examples to compare different portrait styles.&nbsp; It is interesting to see what some describe as a good portrait vs bad. Some examples show Galba with short hair and a symmetrical head, and some depict Galba with a more elongated face showing his old age.</p><p><br /></p><p>Of the below examples taken from the web, I think example #1 and #3 are the finest styles most attractive of the bunch.&nbsp; Example #4 was discussed on previous threads, and I&#039;m surprise it was given a fine style grade.</p><p><br /></p><p>What is your favorite style of Galba?&nbsp; Post your Galba&#039;s with nice portraits.</p><p><br /></p><p><font size="5">1.</font></p><p><img src="https://www.cngcoins.com/photos/enlarged/10900645.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><font size="4"><b>Galba. </b><font face="Verdana">AD 68-69.
