A great addition.

Vitellius Denarius.
Weight: 3.30 g
Diameter: 18.50 mm
A VITELLIVS GERMAN IMP TR P, laureate head right / LIBERTAS RESTITVTA, Libertas, draped, standing facing holding pileus and long rod. RIC I 81, RSC 48

 

I kinda thought it would be neat to do a 12 caesars set with lest coins.

An ae of Claudius from Macedon, Philippi, with Augustus and Julius Caesar on the reverse. (RPC I 1653)

A tetradrachm of Nero with Tiberius on the reverse

A denarius of of Vespasian with Titus and Domitian on the rev. RSC 5

8 of the 12 right there, and you could get all 3 coins for less than $300 for budget examples on vcoins.

 

Here's my budget Vitellius, got this scratched up Vitellius for $50.
Vitellius AR denarius 69 CE
Obv: A VITELLIVS GERM IMP AVG TR P
Rev: PONT MAXIM
RSC 72, Van Meter 16
2.6 grams, 19 mm.

 

Nice to see a good variety of reverses on this thread. Mine is the common dolphin-raven-tripod combo.

 

What a fun twist!
