<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Alegandron, post: 2556465, member: 51347&quot;]Hmmmm.... it is hard to define the complete span due to Usurpers, etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>I now have 138 of the Roman Rulers (including Empresses, Usurper, Caesars, and Augusti), in which there are a TOTAL of 210, according to the RIC Rarity Chart and a few Provincials as discussed here on Coin Talk.</p><p><br /></p><p>When I review my Roman Ruler Timeline pics, I have all the MAIN Augusti that are continuous from each Reign to the next.&nbsp; It creates a continuous Ruler handshake from the Beginning of the Imperial Period to Zeno I (whom is regarded as the last Ruler for the West)... Then it is to The Dark Ages for Western Europe... I have a very few Byzantines, enough to bridge me continuously into the 500&#039;s CE.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, and obviously, not having them ALL; many of the Caesars or Usurpers are not in my clutches yet.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you can see the pictured Timelines below, I possess the major Emperors and can trace from the beginning with Augustus (or Julius Caesar), through each of the major Augusti all the way to Zeno I... spanning the whole Empire.&nbsp; There are still several holes that I want to fill, however, my coins represent a continuous timeline with the Reigns of the Rulers that I have...&nbsp; (See the bold underline under each of the Augusti that represent their reign timeline)</p><p><br /></p><p>I am still on a mission to acquire as many as I can, before price and availability become exponentially unattainable.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Imperial Period is not my focus, but once I began to realize that many were attainable, the itch kept getting scratched.&nbsp; I still focus my efforts on the Roman Republic and those cities and states that interacted with them.&nbsp; That area is a more fulfilling Historical part of the Hobby for me!&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]550407[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]550408[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]550409[/ATTACH]</p><p>RR Caesar AR Denarius 49 BCE Traveling Mint Elephant-Pontificates Sear 1399 Craw 443-1 Obv-Rev.jpg</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]550410[/ATTACH]</p><p>RI Augustus AR Denarius - Obv-Rev Sear 1578 NGC4276216-007.JPG</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]550411[/ATTACH]</p><p>RI Zeno 476-491 CE 2nd reign AE 10mm Monogram Obv-Rev.JPG[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
