I found myself building certain side collections, such as Severan women and their reverse types, Antonine women and their reverse types, Gordian III marriage commemorative provincials, weird portraits of Aurelian (they're all weird, I know, but some are more weird than others), coins with Venus Victrix on them, coins with Cybele on them, coins with famous statues on them, and so on.
