Message:: [QUOTE="BustCoinageDude, post: 1037417, member: 12004"]They don't have to be devout Christians for me to enjoy the turbulence and upheaval in that time period.  I realize that even Constantine made serious pagan concessions as was the case with most Roman emperors.  That was the only way for them to introduce Christianity to a polytheistic culture. My point is that just about any emperor had some sort of drama.  I suspect the more the drama, the more the demand, with some exceptions of course.  I suspect that Tiberius wouldn't be as popular if there was no connection with Christ ,or Nero's connection with the fire in Rome, etc, etc.  I use the Phillips Roman Checklist when I collect.  In fact I have several of them because I have duplicates as well as more spreadsheets for the Provinces and coinage struck by barbarians and imposters.  I don't know how many other collectors use the "Whitman" method of a checklist and filling "holes", but Phillips has sold over 5000 checklists, and I suspect many collectors use Excell and PDF documents to track their collections.  I like your coin a lot.  For $7, its even more appealing. Doesn't have to have Brutus on the obverse and daggers on the reverse to be special, although it helps, lol<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]
