<p>[QUOTE="Al Kowsky, post: 4888668, member: 97383"]D.A., Congrats on your recent score <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />! I'll ditto everything L.M. posted <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie6" alt=":cool:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. Posting the Paduan bronze was a good idea so we can clearly see what the composition of the original reverse looked like. Not only was the reverse a beautiful composition but a great example of Roman propaganda too. Vespasian drained the swamp created by Nero, & put Rome back on course to becoming the greatest empire in history. One coin I was proud to add to my collection several years ago is pictured below <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie85" alt=":smuggrin:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. Not only is this coin unique, but it was once in the collection & illustrated in Guy Lacam's book, & has a provenance going back over 35 years.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1179758[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
