    Okay. Everyone who replied got that one right. It was Trajan (98-117).

    Now for the sixth bust. The rules remain the same.

    Here is the sixth bust from the Palatine Museum. Please post a coin of the emperor (at least, who you think it is), but do not identify the emperor.

    (You may attribute your coin in every way but naming the person.) After a few replies I'll post the attribution from the museum and another bust from the Palatine Museum.

    Not to distract from the thread but @Valentinian , we may have been in Rome at the same time: I just visited the Capitoline Museum two weeks ago for the first time: it's a phenomenal museum and just kept unexpectedly having more rooms filled to the brim with sculptures.

    As a quintessential tourist, I took a look at the gift shop... but, I didn't expect to see one of my coins on a scarf they were selling! I had to buy it despite the absurd markup: their targeted marketing campaign was evidently well done.

    Wonderful! Not just your coin type, but your coin!

    When I've exhausted my photos for this Palatine Museum thread, I have others from the Capitoline Museum. You should do well identifying those busts!

    Beautiful coin :jawdrop:! The artistry of this coin was enhanced by not adding distracting lettering to the obverse just as Hellenized Greeks would have done ;). You would have been silly not to pick up the scarf, it's a great conversation piece :cool:. Look at the interest it's generated on this website already :D.

    A few years ago when I was shopping for a stereo microscope, one was being sold on eBay using one of my photos as a sample of what you could do with the unit. I had owned the coin since before there was an eBay so I know the photo was lifted from my web site and taken with a film camera since that page predated my owning anything digital. They removed the image but I decided not to upgrade my scope.

    AJ, perhaps you can wear the scarf with a TIF designed slab cracker T-shirt?

    Everyone who replied got the sixth bust right. It was Nero.

    Now for the seventh bust. The rules remain the same.

    Here is the seventh bust from the Palatine Museum. Please post a coin of the emperor (at least, who you think it is), but do not identify the emperor.

    I thought about four different emperors in four seconds. Maybe this guy?
