<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Romancollector, post: 4316311, member: 106319&quot;]You&#039;ve got a wonderful collection. Certainly, it&#039;s the most complete collection (in terms of rulers) that I&#039;ve seen. I&#039;ve grappled with whether or not I would go the same route. For the time being, I decided to include the legitimate emperors and the more accessible usurpers. However, with the Western empire, I am stopping at Valentinian III. If I find a tremissis of Libius, Anthemius...etc. in pleasing condition I will go for it, but I know that I will not be able to afford anything like Glycerius, Julius Nepos or Romulus Augustulus. As for the usurpers, I plan to include a few rarities such as Pescennius Niger, Constantine III...etc., but I don&#039;t see myself being able to purchase the exceptional rarities such as those in your collection (i.e. Jotapian, Pacatian, Regalianus). I figure for the price of one of these, I could purchase more than one aureus (I am hoping to have 7 or 8 altogether). I suppose that my decision to exclude certain usurpers or rarer emperors also stems from the fact that I purchase coins on the basis of their portraits. Ideally, I would like for all of my coins to be similar in grade. In any case, with what is going on right now, I am going to limit my purchases.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
