<p>[QUOTE="Cobbler, post: 3184048, member: 97497"]I had a feeling this would trigger some healthy debate! Many thanks for all your suggestions and do keep them coming. I think I'll start looking at Trajan, although any UK-based collection should include at least one coin of Hadrian, arguably the UK's second best known Roman after Julius Caesar. After all he really did build a wall two millennia before Trump came up with the idea!
