Maximus Caesar Denarius
« on: February 23, 2017, 10:56:49 pm »
I haven't posted a COD for quite a while but I think this denarius is worthy, I just added it to my gallery.  Such a beautiful denarius, hard to believe it was such a miserable time for the Empire.

Thanks Randy, Q!

Of course, if you talk about Maximus and ancient Rome, most people will expect to see the Rvssell Crowvs variety.

Lovely coin! Can we get a Lucilla/Connie coin too? She is a lovely Danish girl.  ::)

An excellent portrait of the ill-fated young Maximus. I must say, he does look a lot more agreeable than his violent father.

Congratulations on a very nice addition Nemo.

Best regards,
Steve

Thanks for the compliment peterpil19 but I have to admit that this coin would make anyone seem good at photography.  Certainly one of the easiest coins for me to image so far.
