ASCLEPIADES Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 (edited) Salve, Amici. Even if the resemblance is not so striking, check out this quiff: This is Flavius Iulius Constantius II, second son of Constatine the Great, in the obverse of a bronze coin minted in Alexandria circa 351-354, with the inscription "D(ominus) N(oster) CONSTANTIVS NOB(ilissinus) CAES(ar)" ("Our Lord, Constantius, most noble Caesar").

ASCLEPIADES Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 (edited) From the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, the image in this coin's obverse has been dubbed: The "Nero Elvis". Inscription: NERO CLAVDIVS CAESAR AVG(ustus) GERM(anicus) P(ontifex) M(aximus) TR(ibunicia) P(otestae) IMP(erator) P(ater) P(atriae).
