<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3184076, member: 19463"]As a bonus, Trajan and Hadrian issued enough quinarii (silver and gold) that you might get one. This question really brings to light just how few rulers can be considered here. Yes, Q, Decius would be a great set but the denarius will break the bank if you can find one. Like sets of any kind, success depends on just how well you can talk yourself into defining the set in a way that allows you to play. I don't have the number in active memory but there are many rulers who only have coins in one denomination. Many others issued certain ones only on special occasions so the concept of a denomination set is not as natural for ancients as it is for modern coins. </p><p><br /></p><p>My Hadrian AR quinarius (half denarius) is not very nice.
