<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ancient coin hunter, post: 3148122, member: 87200&quot;]I recently finished up my goal of getting the 5 &quot;good emperors&quot; - Nerva, Trajan, Hadrian, Antoninus Pius and Marcus Aurelius - a project I started when I joined Cointalk at the end of April last year.</p><p><br /></p><p>1. Nerva, billon tet of Alexandria (ex. Zurqieh)</p><p>2. Trajan, silver denarius (ex. JAZ Numismatics)</p><p>3. Hadrian, AE drachm of Alexandria (Ebay)</p><p>4. Antoninus Pius, AE 27 of Seleucis and Piera (Antioch) (ex. JAZ Numismatics)</p><p>5. Marcus Aurelius, AE drachm of Alexandria (ex. Zurqieh)</p><p><br /></p><p>Twelve Caesars:</p><p><br /></p><p>Augustus, AE As (ex. JAZ Numismatics)</p><p>Nero, billon tet of Alexandria (ex. Zurqieh)</p><p>Titus, billon tet of Alexandria (ex. JAZ Numismatics)</p><p>Domitian, AE 27 of Antioch (ex. JAZ Numismatics)</p><p><br /></p><p>So I have eight more to go. Lately I&#039;ve been focusing on the coinage of Alexandria as it reflects my interests and area of study in college (A.B. Egyptian Archaeology/ Languages, UC Berkeley before grad school). I know Galba and Otho struck coins at Alexandria, as well as Vespasian - the only Caesar I don&#039;t know about is Vitellius, so that&#039;s one for me to check out. I hope to finish up the 12 Caesars by the end of the year and then go back to focusing on the third century (no Florian, Tacitus, Carinus, Carus, Hostilian, Aemilianus, Herennius Etruscus, yet to name a few, along with Gordian I and II. </p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks to [USER=42773]@John Anthony[/USER] and Zurqieh for being reliable sources of ancient coins for the collector.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
