[QUOTE="Curtis, post: 24677140, member: 26430"]Very nice sets posted so far! I'm jealous of those. I haven't really prioritized this as much as other areas, but wish I had a more complete set. The glaring holes are GALBA, CALIGULA, and VITELLIUS: The Vitellius I don't even own any more! I sold it about 10 years ago. My Galba is simply a Roman Provincial coin struck (also countermarked) during his reign, but it never had his portrait. (It's [URL='https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/coins/1/1342']RPC I Online 1342 example 14[/URL].) The Caligula isn't a portrait of him -- except seated on the curule on reverse. (Like Vitellius, I could include a portrait AE As that I previously sold, but none current!) [ATTACH=full]1574064[/ATTACH] I'd really like to have a set that entirely fits my captives sub-collection.
