<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Limes, post: 4503831, member: 101013&quot;]It started with the coin below which I could get my greedy hands on:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1116754[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>For a coin of our most famous of all gladiator-emperors (ha ha), this one really hit me because of its elegant portrait, soft toning and, despite its relatively limited relief, very bold appearance. It maybe also has to do with the flow lines that radiate outwards from the portrait and - so to say - suck you in. In hand it is even better! A real masterpiece in my opinion (at least in my price range that is!), and luckily underappreciated in the auction (many have a different definition of masterpiece ;-))</p><p><br /></p><p>In any case, this coin, and inspired by the beautiful posters of [USER=81896]@Deacon Ray[/USER], decided me to update my digital tray of the adoptive / antonine - emperors (although I&#039;m nowhere near his skills <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />). It&#039;s also a lot of fun playing around with your coins in this manner. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1116757[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Enough with the blabla; show your coins of commodus, and/or, other adoptive/antonine - emperors and/or digital tray![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
