[QUOTE="randygeki, post: 2771056, member: 13719"]Thanks all :) and great coins Mike and Mat! I was very happy to receive the last one needed for my set. I was patient and didn't jump at the first cheap one I saw (a bad habit of mine). I did try and find a decent Alexandrian but none were with in my budget. I got this one at a very fair price I think. The reason for 24 emperors on the last pic is that was just a goal of mine to get all of them, minus the emperors between Commodus and Septimius (for now). It was just a neat coincidence that the first six are all left-facing while the others right. It was hard deciding how to make the set, limited by my budget, for which type of coins to use. Life time denarii for all would be great but a mix of metals with provincials tossed in gives a neat representation of the empire I think. I thought about counting the Nero tetradrachm for Tiberius as well but opted to use the As instead. Hopefully an upgrade for that, and the Caligula with pop up. [ATTACH=full]639012[/ATTACH] My favorite of the the first 12 is also the Claudius. [ATTACH=full]639013[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
