    This year I got a total of 13 Roman coins:
    Julian II - AE Nummus
    Maximinus I Thrax - Denarius
    Vitellius - Denarius
    Julius Caesar (Elephant) Denarius
    Balbinus - Denarius
    Valerian II - Double-Denarius
    Otho - Denarius
    Carausius - Double-Denarius
    Valerius Severus (II) - I think this is a Quarter Nummus
    Galerius - Aurelianianus
    Hostilian - Double-Denarius
    Victorinus - Double-Denarius
    Postumus - Double-Denarius

    I also have a number off at NGC being graded, including some of the above.

    Getting very close to my goal of all Emperors from Caesar to Constantine, just need the following now:
    Caligula
    Claudius
    Didius Julianus
    Pescennius Niger
    Gordian I
    Gordian II
    Pupienus

    I’m now expanding into minor Western Usurpers, the Gallic Empire, and Eastern Emperors through 476 as the above can be found but are not cheap.

    @CharlesTheBald

    How many total coins does your original set include?

    How many will make up the new set?

    If we want to break the collecting goals down to sets (Emperors and Caesars):

    Roman Emperors from Julius Caesar to fall of Western Rome:
    Julius Caesar to Constantine 44 BC to 325 AD - 70 coins (I have 59)
    The Constantines to Odoacer - 33.coins (I have 11)

    Usurpers - 30 coins

    Gallic Empire - 5 coins (I have 2 now)

    Eastern Emperors to fall of Western Rome - 13 coins (I have 1 now)

    Lists to completion may vary…
    Working on some new photos, my older posts should contain some previous ones.

    I buy them slabbed when I can, which is the majority of them. If they are loose when I buy them (usually at shows), I send them off in bulk to NGC. Have 7 there right now.

    A few I won’t slab like the Julius Caesar.
