My sister made a video of me showing my 12 Caesars collection to a friend

It was just a bit part. I'm happy to donate my residuals to CoinTalk.

 

I have to say that as I assembled my twelve Ceasars set early this year, I did consume a great deal of info and found each of these twelve me to be eccentric in his own right….. But I sure missed Vespasian and his urine tax. And that today an Italian urinal is called a vespasiano sure speaks to these guys lasting influence. I love stuff like that.

 

Amazing collection, great video! More than I needed to know about urine but that's okay, check out this Caligula on the bay, quite a pricey coin!

Rob, thank you. I very much enjoyed it, and like @Randy Abercrombie, I learned a lot! I started to put together a "Poor Man's" Caesar set, but i stopped and considered how important was that to me? I love to see them, but do I want to spend my coin money on a 12 Caesars set? And I just can't talk myself into it. I'd rather spend in other areas. My Ancient focus is really on Coins of the Bible. So, where a Ceasar appears in that group, I'm interested. And the ones that had a major impact in history, I'm interested in those, too. I may wind up with a 12 Ceasar set, but I will have approached it in a different way. Thanks again. Even though I'm not technically trying to create a set, I'm still interested in history, and you piqued my interest, lol. By the way, I do have a Vespasian coin. Thank you sister for her work in this, and @-jeffB, thank you, too!

 

Did Zemeckis have a hand in this production?

 

Nice little presentation @lordmarcovan !

 

Very impressive collection, thank you for sharing.

 

I think you did better than I would have!

 

Very nice presentation, Rob! Thank you for sharing. @-jeffB should be up for a best supporting actor nomination as well.

Seeing these 12 Caesars collections as shown by you and @Randy Abercrombie made me think about having a stab at it myself previously, and this presentation may well have sealed the deal for me. Perhaps I’ll wait until I’m done with my registry type set first though.

 

DO IT!!!! I been collecting better than fifty years and the most fun I had was the twelve Caesars. Each time I would source one I would have to go learn a little something about the guy. Made these 2000 year old historical figures very real to me.
