Ah, very nice collection! We spoke about that earlier - good that you found this.
The reconstructions look a bit 'mask/statue-like', don't they?

Ave Carme,
that is a very interesting site and I like specially the drawings with its backgrounds. Thank You for posting this here.

PS: although - I found it somewhat ungalant to label it under "Beast" coins :wink:

That's Zach Beasley's site, and I think that is why he named it "BeastCoins." :lol: He is a coin dealer and also does tons of research and has a GREAT site , I recommend you search it further.
He also once owned (I think) and is still heavily researching the famous "Pannonian Hat" coin of Constantine.
