>I've heard that the beginning of the Roman Empire was the end of Classical History and the coins really show it, the difference is night and day.

People can get autistic and pedantic about it, my opinion is that the Classical era and the culture and aesthetics we regard it for ended with Alexander the great, or maybe the divisive and destructive infighting among his successors and other powers in the decades following his death. By around 300 BC coinage and art started degenerating and got noticeably shittier as the years wore on. I've gotten some pic related chinlet underbite abominations in change so the death spiral is clearly already upon us.
