Nice, clear list. Thank you. I decided to collect all up to Severus Alexander since things went to hell in a handbasket pretty much after that in the West. After Severus, I decided to collect emperors who have an interesting story or have otherwise made a major contribution... to Julian. Sorry his effort to return the empire to paganism was so short lived.

You said this list would contain usurpers, too. I suppose you could add Postumus, Marius, Victorinus, Domitian II, Tetricus I and II, Carausius, Allectus, Magnentius, Decentius, and many other ones.

 

Severina should probably be on there. After her husband's death she ruled for two months until she could facilitate the transition of power to Tacitus.

 

Augustus and Augusta: Hypothetically Nero and Poppaea. My poor rendition but inexpensive. 20 mm 3.1gr. (Sorry for the poor quality but i tried). Had to break it out to weight it anyway.

 

Thank you for your inputs, I guess I tried to put together a list to get other folks I knew as a starting point since there were so many emperors just in the west before 476. Not including the Gallic Roman Empire, The East (post-Constantine), minor usurpers, Empresses, and everyone else on a coin.

 

A very useful list. I was going to mention that Postumus and the other Gallic emperors are notable omissions. Plus I can see that you've left out Licinius I and II, Constantius Gallus, and Delmatius, off the top of my head.

 

I always enjoy tossing Vindex into the lineup. He started the kill-off the of the Julio-Claudian Dynasty...

My checklist of "obtainable" coins starting from 100 BCE. (Some might be reasonably obtainable only with a lot of luck!) Darker grey rows are those I'm missing that I regard as essential... I don't mind so much that I'm missing the light grey ones that are unchecked. (Note the Republican era coins need to be related to the named person, e.g. Marius didn't issue coins but I include coins that celebrate his German victories for example.)


Constantine XI is probably not reasonably obtainable but I just couldn't leave him off!

 

Be interesting to start a game by posting pics of the emperors, co-emperors, userpers, wives, children and any other relevant figures who issued coinage. All metals included. Going in order would keep things in order. I don't have any coins to contribute but it would be fun to see what the members have. Just thinking out loud.

 

I once had a notion to collect one coin each of all who claimed the title 'Roman Emperor' from Augustus through the Holy Roman emperor Francis II (abdicated 1806), bookended by Julius Caesar and Napoleon. I didn't get very far.

 

That is a great list and format!

 

Ras Suarez wrote Encyclopedia of Roman Imperial Coins (ERIC) and in the process complied a list of people on Roman coins, ranked in order of frequency on coins. With his permission (long ago) I posted his pdf of it here:

You can download it and print it out, if you wish.
Here is his similar list for provincial coins:

These can help you know which are just too rare to be on your personal list of people to acquire. Note there are some people that are very rare on imperial coins and not rare on provincial coins (e.g. Poppaea under Nero and Tranquillina under Gordian III).

 

Well sorry, but that's a nasty thing to have on your résumé, and there's just no way around it.

 

Valentinian III bronze coin…read around here they’re supposedly hard to find, not sure if that’s true or not. Picked this up for $20 bucks at a local show 5 or 6 years ago as a filler piece.

 

That's Valens

 

That’s awesome. Thanks for the correction. In the trade pile it goes.
