Benefactor LONGINUS Posted August 3, 2022 · Benefactor Benefactor Share Posted August 3, 2022 (edited) I’m sorting through a number of great Roman denarii acquisitions and having a lot of fun reading up on them and creating these graphics. Here are a few husbands and wives. Thanks for looking and thanks for the inspiration! Edited August 4, 2022 by LONGINUS 25 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenickelguy Posted August 4, 2022 · Member Share Posted August 4, 2022 Otacilia Severa is a face I don't see very often. I like how you have "carded" them in an artistic way too. Very nice coins. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benefactor DonnaML Posted August 4, 2022 · Benefactor Benefactor Share Posted August 4, 2022 Lovely coins and presentation! May I ask the source for the sculptures? The one of Otacilia Severa makes her look particularly pretty. I wonder how it's known that it's supposed to be her. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An image of the (presumed to be) Otacilia Severa is in the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotekcan museum of art in Copenhagen and can be found on this Cambridge University site at: https://museum.classics.cam.ac.uk/collections/casts/otacilia-severa The images of the sculptures and castings of Commodus, Crispina, and Philip are from Wikimedia Commons and have no copyright. Many of the digital photos that I use in my posters are royalty free reference images that I’ve compiled in my years employed as a graphic designer for the Federal Government but I definitely need to do a better job of providing source information. I enjoy restoring damaged sculptures in PhotoShop and have made a few repairs to the image on the right. Another un-named version of the casting can be seen at: https://www.tumgir.com/tag/roman portrait Edited August 4, 2022 by LONGINUS 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The coins fantastic - but your presentations tops it. Thanks for that. Waiting for new presentations from you 😉 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
