Macro lens + medium softbox + black velvet. This Denarius was struck during the reign of Hadrian around 120 AD. D3, Nikon 60mm f/2.8, 1/200 @ f/32, ISO 200
Ha! That would be nice. I actually bought it at a flea market in Collinsville. I've developed an interest in the Romans and particularly Hadrian over the last couple of years and this is a nice link to the past. I used a medium softbox with a 500ws monolight at a low angle. I suppose the right way to light this would be a couple of low lights on either side?

So, you got this by accident as change for a Big Gulp or what? Amazing detail. Did you use strobe or tungsten?
