All are nice, but I really love the bronzes of Verus and young Faustina Jr, and that Divvs Marcus is just stunning!</p><p><br /></p><p>I am working on the &quot;all imperial personages&quot; collection; I have a few more within reach, but I&#039;m afraid I&#039;m reaching the glass ceiling - coins I could bid on, but that would do irreparable damage to my marriage and credit score! Some of my more important recent additions:</p><p><br /></p><p>Plotina, completing the Nerva Antonines and their wives set (Gordos, Julia)</p><p>[ATTACH=full]975887[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not holding my breath for Marciana or Matidia!</p><p><br /></p><p>Next are the PB&amp;J emperors - once they got smushed together, history couldn&#039;t really say much about one without mentioning the other...</p><p><br /></p><p>They completed my run of uncontested, Senate-approved emperors from Augustus until Valentinian III </p><p>[ATTACH=full]975888[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]975889[/ATTACH] </p><p>Now I&#039;m only missing Pescennius Niger, and Gordian I &amp; II from the traditional list of emperors...
