<p>[QUOTE="David Atherton, post: 2623341, member: 82616"]If one was to compose a list of 'The 100 Greatest Roman Denarii', I don't think any limits such as two per decade or one per emperor should apply. Either the coin type is great or it isn't. Some emperors or moneyers didn't produce anything noteworthy enough to make the cut and their coinage shouldn't artificially be included. That being said, the six you listed are worthy of inclusion, IMHO, so just 94 more to go!</p><p><br /></p><p>I think we can all agree a lifetime JC portrait and EID MAR denarius should be in the top five.</p><p><br /></p><p>N.B.
