Lets see your Roman coins that have one or more busts on both sides of the coin

I know they exist. I have only seen RIC VII , 496 No.14.

WoW!
I love the nero coin, he must have had some problem with a thyroid gland

 

Not necessarily, but possibly. A pampered life where one only needs snap his fingers and only have to move to relieve oneself just may have played a role.

 

I like big busts! (and I can not lie..)

@Bing: Wow, the style on that Octavian/Julius piece is crazy! I'm finding it hard to believe that that's an official mint product (even for a provincial coin). The bust of Octavian (right, in your picture) looks like the character of Butthead from "Beavis and Butthead".

Is that bronze?

 

You may be right and I've always had my suspicions. From wildwinds:

 

Love the coins!

 

I just love the SS beard

 

I thought the OP meant Imperial coins with emperors on both sides but if everyone is going to pile on provincials and deities, I can join in
