[GALLA PLACIDIA]

It is a page very interesting because, they have done the recreation of the women represented in the coins, ( in some coins...)

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?

Yes!!!!
.But, today , it is difficult to find feminine reproductions (drawings, etc ..), these drawings humanizes the big women of Rome a bit more... :wink:

Ave Carme,

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.

I stumbled across these stories, which may be old news to you folks but as we are speaking of Roman women, modern science has seems to have few surprises for us:
