<p>[QUOTE="Sallent, post: 3908873, member: 76194"]Some emperors are a lot easier to identify than others. There's no mistaking a Trajan, Hadrian, Augustus, Vespasian, etc. for any other emperors. The ones that take a little bit of extra guess work are usually the emperors from the Crisis of the Third Century, as coinage portrait quality severely declined so its a lot harder to compare their coins to their statues. As far as Late Republic and early Empire, Julius Caesar is the tough one to identify for the reasons Mary Beard lays out.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
