<p>[QUOTE=&quot;romismatist, post: 8253054, member: 44106&quot;]For Roman denarii, I&#039;m good from Augustus to Marcus Aurelius except for Caligula. I&#039;ve tended to focus on first and second century denarii because I find that the emperors are very recognizable and the style is fantastic - often like miniature sculptures! I tend to cluster more around emperors I like, such as Hadrian, or historical types, such as the Titus &quot;elephant&quot; denarius, Trajan&#039;s column, or the Septimius Severus / Geta / Caracalla &quot;Victoriae Brit&quot; series.</p><p><br /></p><p>As I get into antoninianii it&#039;s a bit more hit and miss; I am less enthusiastic about billon and bronze, and sold a portion of my early collection back in my EBay selling days, although I have actually been adding back a few more recently. I didn&#039;t have a Postumus for the longest time (my example turned out to be an Aureolus instead), so I acquired a few examples last year. They are pretty common and affordable in good grades. I also wanted a Trajan Decius &quot;Dacia&quot; antoninianus and wound up acquiring a few examples of this type as well this year (I kept upgrading until I got one in the condition I wanted, but have not unloaded the others yet). Lastly, I acquired a coin of Marius in a lot recently, which is a scarcer emperor that I didn&#039;t have either. Still no Quintillus, and I sold my Tetricus I and II coins a long time ago and haven&#039;t replaced them yet...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
