    I posted my Imperial Portrait Gallery here last year (https://www.cointalk.com/threads/my-portrait-gallery.285774/)
    In the meantime I managed to expand it to 65 portraits from Caesar to Postumus.
    My goal was to keep it to brassy toned bronzes.

    Here is Tray Nr.1 with some upgrades:

    - Julius Caesar bronze was kicked out of the showroom due to poor quality
    - Livia Dupondius added
    - Tiberius Dupondius replaced by Sestertius
    - Drusus Paduan replaced by genuine Sestertius
    - Nero Sestertius replaced by much superior specimen
    - Pertinax forgery replaced by genuine Sestertius
    - Caracalla forgery replaced by genuine Sestertius
    - Plautilla (Limes-) As added

    ... and the B-Sides:

    Tray Nr.2 (Macrinus to Postumus) will have to wait because my Severus Alexander did not show up for the group photo. But as a teaser you can expect the following:

    - Macrinus As replaced by Sestertius
    - Elagabal Sestertius replaced my much superior specimen
    - Orbiana Sestertius added
    - Maximinus Thrax Sestertius replaced my much superior specimen
    - Gordianus I Sestertius added
    - Pupienus Sestertius had to leave us due to being a forgery suspect
    - Balbinus Sestertius added
    - Godianus III Sestertius replaced my much superior specimen
    - Otacilia Severa Sestertius added
    - Herennia Etruscilla Sestertius added
    - Mariniana Sestertius added
    - Gallienus Sestertius added
    - Salonina Sestertius added

    Let´s see your portrait galleries!!!

    Simply beautiful! Is that Didius Julianus next to Pertinax? I've never seen a Pertinax Sestertius led alone Didius!

    @Julius Germanicus has wonderful versions, and that Sestertius Tray is FANTASTIC!
