"Guess the emperor", a little numismatic game


Helvius Pertinax

Recommended Posts

A few days ago @AncientNumisĀ came up with the idea for this game, so I decided to make my own version šŸ˜„

First, you just have to guess the emperor by recognizing their facial characteristics:

Now, to make it a bit more difficult, you'll have to guess the emperor from looking at just the reverse if the coin (should be possible šŸ¤” If not, just put a guess). And watch out: there's a empress too:

3. Philip the Arab

4. Valerian

Thats a strong guess, nearly everything correct šŸ˜®! The first one is an early Septimius, the style looks similar to Albinus:
