http://www.tantaluscoins.com/coins/grid288.php Here is my Roman Imperial grid. At 100 rulers, it's starting to look like it's filling up but still a lot of empty slots. I'm at 48.8% filled.
Aquilia Severa (221 - 222 A.D.) AR Denarius O: IVLIA AQVILIA SEVERA AVG, draped bust right.

I think the list of 'admirers' is growing Steve---and I'm sure JA would be on the list if he was around...I love the 'rough' look....especially since so many of mine have it
Now we're talking about getting that Julia Paula and a Julia Aquilia Severa along with it. Thanks Mat, much appreciated!!
I thought I already posted Eudoxia.....but I guess not, so here it is: I just re-checked and I don't seem to have any of the others remaining on your list....
Not great, but theodora Theodora (337-340 A .D.) AE4 Obv: FL MAX THEODORAE AVG. diademed and draped bust right. Rev: PIETAS ROMANA. Pietas standing right holding child in her arms. (Exergue obscured.) 14mm 1.6g Sear 3911
Oops, I almost posted Jovinus as well... (not the one you mean....) Well, that's it for me. Terrific group of 'ladies' Mat !!!!
Mabye this one is welcome: CALIGULA. AD 37-41 . AE sestertius. SCARCE. AE sestertius (33mm, 24.95g). Rome mint. Struck AD 37-38. C CAESAR AVG GERMANICVS PON M TR POT.

This thread has seen more than one version of the list. One difference is how they handle that ruler 'Anonymous'. One version places it at #16 while another splits out Urbs Roma, Constantinopolis and 'Other'. I assume 'Other' combines the earlier quadrantes and the Pagans of the 4th century. I made the assumption that the Vabalathus number did not include the Aurelian reverses. A question I'd love to know is if there will ever be another name added to the list. There are several shown here that exit in three or fewer examples including the 1900 Domitian II specimen which was pretty generally considered a fake until they found the 2004 example in circumstances hard not to accept. What other coin remains buried out there waiting for someone to dig it up and start the controversy about its authenticity? We have names of usurpers not known to have issued coins. We even have a few coins generally believed to be fantasies. Did the Alexandria mint cut even one denarius die for Titania or Pertinax Caesar (they did make tetradrachms)? Probably not is a probably correct answer but I would not bet the farm on anything never having existed just because we don't know it today.

Very impressive guys and thank you very much. Another successful celebration party. I will keep an eye on this thread for awhile in case there are some more added. I know a couple people here that have a few more rare rulers but they visit sporadically. Now that we are pretty much about done, post any Roman coin you want. Let em rip!! If you are done posting, that's ok too.
How about a full silvered follis of Diocletian?? I figured my photo practicing with various modes and settings should come to some good LOL Yep, I was working outside first.
