[Fun] How far chronologically can we get with Roman Emperors?

Great coin, @zumbly! Someone did post both GI and GII in @lordmarcovan's old thread (https://www.cointalk.com/threads/le...h-roman-imperials.327939/page-26#post-3259391), so perhaps they'll do so again here.

Thank you @zumbly! Half way to getting through this hurdle

 

It’s incredivle that there are even cons still existent of a reign that lasted 21 days.

Amazing

 

I am travelling this week, so, I regret I missed thus thread. I have 151 of the Rulers and Usurpers. So, I will fill what I can as needed.

I also regret Vindex is not represented, especially since he STARTED the Civil War to oust Nero.

Trebonianus Gallus


Volusian

 

I don't have Aemilian, but I do have his wife, Cornelia Supera!

 

I think we left out little Hostillian.

and here is Aemilian antoninianus.

 

I'm not sure ANYONE has Uranius Antoninus, so forgive me if I skip ahead ...

Valerian and Mariniana:

 

I love the crisis years!

Pupienus


Balbinus


Gordian III


Philip I


Philip II


Decius


Herennius Etruscus (as Caesar... I don't think anyone here has him as Augustus?)


Hostilian as Augustus


Gallus


Volusian

 

What a nice surprise to wake up to! Looks like we are now at Gallienus, approaching the stabilization of the Illyrian generals!
