This would require some careful decision making not to fill easy denominations like denarius with easy to find ones and there should be an aureus (probably a Nero since he is represented no worn gold as often as any). </p><p><br /></p><p>I believe your set looks good together and better than if you had a mint state coin of the cheap emperors and a dog for the rare ones. I probably would prefer the replacement of the two silvers with provincial bronzes especially since you have that Augustus from Lugdunum which is kind of half way to Provincial. The only rules that matter are the ones you set for yourself. It is always interesting to see what people do to make up for Otho not having Imperial AE. I don't have a 12 Caesar's set but I do have a coin from each of the twelve. Only some people will understand that difference. Of the coins posted here, I give extra credit to Randy's for the use of the Caesar half of a 'dupondius'.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
