[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 2573687, member: 10461"]It was! I [I]did[/I] do it a second time with my old [URL='https://forums.collectors.com/discussion/842182/lord-marcovans-twelve-caesars-roman-imperial-collection']"Twelve Caesars" set[/URL], and of course I still dabble a little with Romans in the present "Eclectic Box of 20" set. When the Box of 20 "matures" to the point where I'm not going to sell anything out of it or be able to afford upgrades, I might set it aside and pick up a raw Roman emperors set along these lines again (adding Julius Caesar so it can also be a 12C set at the same time). Doing it a second time, I'd pay more attention to interesting reverse designs. In this, my novice set, I was mostly just after a good portrait and a readable name in the legends. Those are still primary criteria for me on a Roman coin, but if I revisit this, there will be more variety in the reverse designs besides just the typical single-figure personifications.[/QUOTE]
