<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ancient coin hunter, post: 2811712, member: 87200&quot;]I like following along with the changes evident on imperial coins. I really am fascinated the changes in style, particularly from the 1st century to the second century, and later on from the 2nd century to the third century. Some of the 3rd century bronze pieces are still quite nice and offer realistic portraitures up through the time of Gallienus (on some of his coins) and Valerian. After that, we get the kind of cruciform portraits of the late 3rd century to the time of Diocletian, who introduced the almost interchangeable portraits of the tetrarchs.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not necessarily a big fan of the 4th century portraits after the time of the tetrarchs, but it&#039;s interesting to follow the changes during the dominate, as opposed to the principate.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
