Message:: [QUOTE="rg3, post: 2623466, member: 79213"]Good points! Titus provides an example to your observation (having only reigned 2-3 years, but having killer issues commemorating the construction of the Colesseum and the eruption of Vesuvius). Maybe it is best to order by general time period/dynasty. Let us see what we have (I put a few more in which are probably subject to debate. Of course I am probably missing quite a few which should WITHOUT A DOUBT make the list. I invite corrections, discussion, debate.): I. Republic  1. L. Calpurnius Piso Frugi's Apollo  2. Gladiator reverse (Didius or Regulus)  3. L. Plautius PlancusII. Imperatorial  1. Caesar Portrait (Perpetual Dictator)  2. Brutus EID MAR  3. Sextus Pompey's Pharos/Scylla  4. Marc Antony Legionary (X (imp historically, not rare) or COHORTIS SPECVLATORVM)  5. Antony and CleopatraIII. ImperialA. Julio-ClaudianB. Year of the FourC. Flavian  1. Vespasian's Judea Capta (with palm)  2. Titus' Elephant  3. Domitian's Germania CaptaD. Nerva-Antonine  1. Trajan's Column  2. Commodus as HerculesE. Year of the FiveF. Severan  1. Septimius' Circus  2. Julia Domna's Four Seasons  3. Elagabalus' Sacred Stone I count 16 contenders so far (but basic arithmetic was never my strong suit).[/QUOTE]
