Identifying Roman Imperial coins by their portrait
Most experienced collectors are able to tell what emperor issued a coin just by looking at the obverse portrait. This skill is impressive for any beginner, and it is also useful to identify those coins so worn that legends cannot be easily read anymore. The gallery below is a display of characteristic portraits from coins and we hope it will be helpful to those seeking to identify roman coins.
