Message:: [QUOTE="Orfew, post: 2622561, member: 74968"]Even with a 12 Caesars collection there is no such thing as complete...at least in my mind. Yes you may have all of the emperors, but that is only a starting point. There is much variety to be had. Do you want only silver denarii? Would you allow provincial issues? What about the women who were related to the 12? Do you want only Rome mint issues? How about that gap between Iulius Caesar and Augustus? Now that would be an interesting collection. The collection can be as general or specific as you want. Then there is always the possibility of upgrading the member coins for issues with interesting reverses or trying to find examples with countermarks. A 12 Caesars collection may be complete at some time, but in my mind it is never finished unlike filling the holes in a folder. My pursuit of the 12 is in no way a search for an ultimate end, it is instead about finding as interesting a path as possible when investigating an historically fascinating time in the story of human beings.[/QUOTE]
