<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Steven Michael Gardner, post: 7884474, member: 97508&quot;]Thanks for pointing me to that thread, I noticed various bust examples as personifications of the Senate, I wonder who would have been the one to choose the bust style for one of these coins, would the Senate have been consulted at the time for approval and shown various engravings of artist examples of which to choose to mint a coin from at that period???&nbsp; I like to think that the engraver had some latitude to come up with a certain look to such a bust, to me it resembles Trajan a bit, and I;m assuming that it was struck shortly after his reign or in that period?&nbsp; It is a very strong bust when compaired to many as well as the female personification...</p><p>This is the first Senate representation that I have come across personally for myself, I will put it away with some of my other special coins...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
