Bronzes are harder to find in nice condition so collecting them will require more tolerance of faults, more patience or a lot more money. Caracalla [ATTACH=full]915271[/ATTACH] Commodus [ATTACH=full]915272[/ATTACH] Domna [ATTACH=full]915273[/ATTACH] I have no Lucilla bronze. Aurelius [ATTACH=full]915274[/ATTACH] Another region to explore is that of Provincial coins issued for local use in certain regions. They can be silver or bronze. Caracalla, Antioch [ATTACH=full]915277[/ATTACH] Commodus, Alexandria [ATTACH=full]915278[/ATTACH] Domna, Sardis [ATTACH=full]915279[/ATTACH] Again, I have no Lucilla Provincial.
