    I think a Trajan coin commemorating his building infrastructure achievements like his bridge over the Danube would be fitting. 3w2YrDR8P5ez4QtDpLL72eBRmx9ZF6.jpg

    Great thread.
    Here are a couple of my favorite coins, of my favorite emperors. There's just something special about the Five Good Emperors, and especially these two in my humble opinion.
