    Julia the Elder was on my list of coins to get, but I lost hope over time and she was bumped into the "Excluded" bin a couple weeks ago :(. (I was whittling the list down to 150 coins) But your example is fantastic...... it would actually check Livia as well (don't have her yet), so I could add Julia back in while not exceeding 150!

    I do have Poopy anus though, and here's a "Rocky" Balbinus to round out the pair. According to the coins, they apparently shook hands at least once after all :p
