[QUOTE="Curtis, post: 24863602, member: 26430"]Mine includes not just bronzes, but Provincial and imitative bronzes. For Nero, mine includes at least 3 or 4 Provincials to capture all the variations from skinny bowl-cut 17-year old through overweight neck-bearded 30 year old. If your budget is unlimited, you could aim for all 12 portraits on gold Aurei (the Julius Caesar portrait would have to be posthumous I believe). I dream of one day having just one. Also a matter of how much time you're willing to invest in completing it. Every few years I pick up another AR Denarius in anticipation of a full set (usually for other reasons too), but it may be another 10-20 years before I finish it. Maybe sooner if I move it to a higher priority. (For "12 Caesars Denarius-Portrait Set" I'd still need Caligula, Claudius, Galba, Vitellius, I think -- unless I cheat and include specimens I previously owned but sold!)[/QUOTE]
