<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 2778014, member: 42773&quot;]To put it politely, Salonina may not have been the best subject for portraits - her busts are always rather drab, and this coin offers no exception. But I loved the style of the reverse - one of the joys of collecting ancient coins is in the fact that all the dies are engraved by hand, and occasionally you find that engraver that added a bit of his own style or pizzazz. On this antoninianus, Felicitas looks curiously languid and haughty at the same time, and fortunately the coin was struck hard enough to bring out the fine details.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]641989[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
