Pupienus and Balbinus can be had for a few hundred dollars. If you shop around, AE4s of Valentinian III and Johannes can be had for under $100 (but maybe you want a nice solidus?). Otho is affordable if you can live with a provincial from Antioch. Livia can be found at a reasonable price if you&#039;re happy with a Spanish provincial.</p><p><br /></p><p>For Gordian I and II, of course, you&#039;d need to be comfortable spending a few grand for each.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t prioritise imperial over provincial - i just want the most interesting coin I can afford for each ruler.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think provincials are fine for a portrait series - as long as it&#039;s a contemporary coin bearing the name and portrait of the ruler (btw I don&#039;t like attributions that give a name that cannot be found on the coin - in my opinion there are no coins of Aureolus or Pontius Pilate... Such an attribution is marketing to boost an otherwise unremarkable coin).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
