 ROMAN EMPIRE



CERTIFIED BY NGC



Claudius II AD 268-270



BI Double-Denarius



Obverse: Bust of Claudius Gothicus, radiate,
cuirassed, right or head of Claudius Gothicus, radiate, right or bust of
Claudius Gothicus, head bare, right.



Reverse: Annona, draped, standing left, foot on prow, holding corn-ears in right
hand and cornucopiae in left hand.




In ancient Roman religion, Annona (Latin "corn, grain;
means of subsistence", from annus "year") is the divine personification of the
grain supply to the city of Rome. She is closely connected to the goddess Ceres,
with whom she is often depicted in art.



Annona, often as Annona Augusti, was a creation of Imperial religious
propaganda, manifested in iconography and cult practice. She is presented as a
theophany of the emperor's power to care for his people through the provision of
grain. Annona thus lacked narrative mythology or a tradition of devotion in the
Roman Republic, but once established as part of Imperial cult, she was the
recipient of dedications and votive offerings from private individuals motivated
by gratitude or the seeking of favor.
 



Marcus Aurelius Claudius (May 10, 213 - January, 270), often referred to as
Claudius Gothicus or Claudius II, was a Roman Emperor . He ruled the Roman
Empire for less than two years (268 - 270), but during that brief time he
managed to obtain some successes. He was later given divine status.

This is how you make an artbook!!
It's so awesome to open an artbook and see every stage of the character and how it all came together. It's always fun and interesting to know how Korra was made, and why whe looks the way it looks. It's really cool to read the different ideas that came up for a certain character and why they decided that a certain design worked better than the previous ones! It's also really interesting and delicious to read about how they inspired themselves in known architecture to create the environment in this tv series. I simply loved it and I'm excited to know that I'll be buying the other Korra artbooks!!!

Great artwork for a great series!! Recommended to artists, animators and fans of the series
It's been a while since the Avatar: The Last Airbender series ran on TV. I really loved that series because it dealt with a lot of eastern cultures themes and it was not the average children TV show. Despite its children characters the show runners manged to find a balance between drama and comedy. Now about the art book: that series (Avatar) had its own book (all seasons in one single book) but this time we are getting one book entirely dedicated to the first season, which makes it great. Why? Because we are getting more artwork per episode, most of it in full-color. I would have liked to see more of the character design, I mean how they got to the final version. Most of the characters are shown in their final version with some costume variants but that's it, no development. One thing missing this time (both from the series and this book) is the animal designs. They had a lot 2-animal-fusion designs on the previous show but this time we get to see almost nothing. I know it is because the series is takes place mainly in Republic City. And wow! what a nice city it is. All the artwork dedicated to set Republic City's mood, the 1920s, the steam-punk influence, the fashion, everything just fits perfectly! There is a couple of aerial views (day & night) which are my favorite from the book. This new guy they hired to do the background paintings has done a great job! Every background and every building design have so much detail that they will make your jaw just drop. I like the fact they are paintings with no pencil lines, just paint brushed over the design, which makes it look richer! Now, I am giving this book a 4-star rating because of the reasons I have already explained and the fact that we are not getting that much in-depth information like we got from the Avatar art book . I must say this is not an animation book, this is an art book that depicts backgrounds, characters and vehicles. You will get to see a few storyboarded sequences but this book is not intended to teach you about animation. I seriously recommend this book to any person interested in art and animation. The artwork is so well achieved that you will be left wanting to see more.

Inspirational for Concepts and Illustration
I am learning to be a Concept Designer and Illustrator and this art book is inspirational. This art book has well presented examples for most every part of the conception and finishing process for characters, environments, costumes, props, and story. It has a good amount of design concepts from everything about the series first season: character designs, character sheets, building and city designs, costumes, vehicles, etc. I only wish is was longer/bigger. They could put all 4 seasons into one large encompassing volume.

The information in the book is good and goes into good detail about the Halo Universe ...
Format: Hardcover
Bought the book as a gift for my 12 year old son. The information in the book is good and goes into good detail about the Halo Universe and the Human-Covenant War. The art work is excellent. Well worth the cost.
