[QUOTE="Finn235, post: 4956994, member: 98035"]And as others have stated, the sky's the limit as far as RPC goes. Not only do provincial coins have coins of empresses and other imperial personalities not (or very rarely) found on imperial coinage, but there is also a plethora of Roman magistrates who appear on coinage, particularly from the time of Augustus. People who exist on Imperial coinage, albeit expensively: Julia the Elder, daughter of Augustus [ATTACH=full]1191610[/ATTACH] Britannicus Caesar, son of Claudius [ATTACH=full]1191600[/ATTACH] Agrippina II, wife of Claudius and mother of Nero [ATTACH=full]1191603[/ATTACH] Tranquillina, wife of Gordian III [ATTACH=full]1191602[/ATTACH] You have to go provincial if you want: Tiberius Gemellus, son of Drusus and grandson of Tiberius [ATTACH=full]1191609[/ATTACH] Octavia, 1st wife of Nero [ATTACH=full]1191606[/ATTACH] Poppaea, 2nd wife of Nero [ATTACH=full]1191608[/ATTACH] These people weren't even in the dynasty, but were Roman, appear on coinage, and were important to history Vedius Pollio, prominent aristocrat, governor of Asia briefly, and best known for attempting to have a slave eaten alive by hungry eels over a broken cup[ATTACH=full]1191612[/ATTACH] Asinius Gallus, friend of Augustus and best known as the nemesis of Tiberius, who married Livilla, mocked Tiberius as he was publicly inheriting the Principate, and ended up starving to death in a prison cell [ATTACH=full]1191611[/ATTACH] And while we're on the subject, what's the point of seeking out people like Gordian I and II if you don't even have people like Mark Antony?
