<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ancient coin hunter, post: 3099925, member: 87200&quot;]Well, I now have an Augustus, Titus, and Domitian. So there are nine more to go. I&#039;m wondering about the feasibility of finishing out the last nine with provincial, Egyptian, and possibly bronze and copper Imperial issues. </p><p><br /></p><p>If so, I calculate that I can probably finish the project for a budget of between $1,000 and $1,500. Compared to denarii, this represents a huge savings. </p><p><br /></p><p>To be honest, I&#039;m not that interested in the history of the 12 Caesars compared to the 2nd and 3rd centuries A.D. I recently picked up a great Balbinus and Pupienus from JA with great portraits (sestertii).</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve read Suetonius and a professor of mine in college (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erich_S._Gruen" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erich_S._Gruen" rel="nofollow">Dr. Gruen</a>) spent half of the Roman history course I took on the reign of Augustus (he wrote a number of scholarly works on Augustus and the Late Republic) so I am pretty knowledgeable on the period. </p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, I figure my budget approach might just work. Am I cheating??? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
