A Tiny Vespasian With an Exquisite Portrait
« on: February 01, 2017, 01:20:29 am »
I'm really loving these Flavian quinarii. https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-134599

For such a small flan the engravers at Rome were often able to achieve some very notable portraits. Not to mention the rending of Victory here is quite sublime.
