LRB&#039;s were much more mass produced than other coins, and since there was no way to reproduce dies by definition meant more die engravers were used, and probably less talented ones. Also, the empire was under stress, so that is usually not good for art. Couple that with the Christian movement I described, and smaller coins, and you have coins I believe most humans on earth would call less attractive that earlier Roman of Greek coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Having said that, there are still some beautiful coins made, especially in silver and gold in this period. Also, I find &quot;barbaric&quot; coins from this timeframe very attractive, see a lot of celtic influence which I like a lot.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
