So lets see how far we can get. Post your Roman Imperials. Lets see if we as a group can get 95% complete from Augustus to Anastasius I. I'll start it off: Hadrian as, RIC 616: stainless
Good idea!! I can cover a few: Gordian III Constans: Nero: Maybe we can make it where we post what Emperors we can, and when someone comes along with a nicer example that one that I or someone else posted, we can change it? Like say someone comes along and posts a nicer Nero than the one I have, I can just edit my post and remove mine? Just a suggestion. Phoenix
are you gona use a check list or something? heres some of mine 1. Augustus (minted under Tiberius) 2. Vespasian
Hmm, I see an awful lot of provincials up there, should we count those? Also, do we count Imperial ladies? Howabout individuals awarded the title Caesar but never elevated to Augustus? Claudius sestertius, 41-42 AD, Rome Constantius I follis, 305-306 AD, Serdica Septimius Severus sestertius, 196 AD, Rome Volusian sestertius, 251-253 AD, Rome Zeno AE4, 474-475 AD, Constantinople or Cyzicus
Aww shoot..lets go the whole mile Ardatirion, Lets use the Dirtycoins database: http://www.dirtyoldcoins.com/natto/rarity.htm stainless PS: Take out dem Provincials
Ardatirion I hope you mix that sestertius up with the Claudius I bought from you. edit: no provincials?
Okay, so here are a few that I've got nice pictures of: I've got... Trajan Marcus Aurelius Commodus Stainless, are you keeping track?
Oh no, don't worry i'll stop right there (smiley). But it was really cool finding that Vitellius! (together with an Marc Anthony). Good details of that food-obsessed emperor.
I could post many, those m aurelius/commodus/trajan bronzes look great, i'll link to my roman gallery, i specialize in elagabalus and caracalla antoninianii, theyre my favorite, i am a sucker for a good silver radiate bust... http://www.cointalk.com/forum/members/rexesq/albums/162/ cucumbor, those are some fine coins, i like the first one, maximus, im also a sucker for a nice pair of standards.....and that is a very nice portrait of clodius albinus too... wow ardatirion, i dont see many septimius severus sesterces, nice one...i have a nice severus alexander sestertius, mars ultor reverse, not nearly as rare...
