<p>[QUOTE="Terence Cheesman, post: 8463876, member: 86498"]Probably the two least expensive aurei are those of Antoninus Pius and his wife Faustina Snr. Others that may not be out of range would include Gordian III and possibly the very light "aurei / quinarii of Gallienus during his reign as sole emperor. I have noticed a number of aurei of Trajan Decius for sale of late. They maybe in the same ballpark but that may be simply the result of a recent hoard. There may be others eg Augustus Tiberius Nero and Trajan that may on occasion be somewhat affordable. As for solidii I would say Honorius and the eastern emperors of the fifth century AD but I did notice that you wish to end your collection at Theodosius I. pretty well any of the more common emperors from Constantius II through to Theodosius I are doable. </p><p> My first aureus</p><p>Antoninus Pius Av Aureus 152-153 AD Obv Head right laureate.
