First time posting it here but this reflects the new Otho Tetradrachm I recently got.

Lordmarcovan: I especially like your Otho portrait. Expressive. He looks sedately confident, in a reflective pose. Meanwhile, not uncharacteristically, Vespy and Titus look ticked off!

 

This is not finished..Going for color in this piece!I have the Otho just have to put it where Nerva is.

 

It is truly amazing,Gorgeous, with all those ancients side by side WONDROUS without leaving home!

 

Seutonius Twelve PLUS:

I like to add VINDEX since he started the Civil War against Nero that stopped the Julio-Claudian Dynasty. The Irony is that his name was Gaius Julius Vindex and he was of Gallic Nobility... named after the guy who conquered Gaul...

 

Wow that is a awesome collection thanks for sharing.

Nice collections everyone. I put this one together because of the different styles, sizes and metal and thought it made for a good mix. It was difficult picking which coins to include, but I thought it should have Antony since he's related to most of the Emperors even more closely than Octavian.

 

amazing Domitian

 

Very attractive (and reasonable!) set! Glad most have subsequently found happy homes among the Cointalk brethren.

I, too, had started a set of the Twelve Caesars denarii, managing to obtain three (Vitellius, Vespasian and Domitian) before I was sidetracked with building a Japan type set. They’re still in the Abafil, awaiting an extended stay from the relatives.

 

First of my 12 Caesars....always wanted one and finally got it...
Caligula, Galba, Vespasian, and Domitian already on board...Vitellius is coming...

 

VERY nice @Rod Vosburgh ... even the bankers mark flows with the elephant. The other bankers marks give it great character!

My Elephant was having a bad day... he really made a mess! (Copper deposits on surface)

Still a beauty

 

Some GREAT looking coins in these collections.

My (inexpensive) 12 Caesars (Portrait) Collection (clickable)

 

I haven't changed it since the last time we ran one of these, but I don't mind showing it again since it is one of the few that is all imperial silver, if you can count the Caligula drachm minted in Rome as "imperial."

 

I recently updated my Twelve Caesars sub-collection with a nicer Galba, and just now with a nicer Caligula. I had to share somewhere.

 

I have kicked around the idea of collecting the 12 Caesars, but I'm fussy about grades. The rare ones are really expensive. Here's my Nero denarius.

 

Nice coin you got there.

 

Thank you @SorenCoins!

I bought that piece at the Sumer FUN show last year.

Here is another one Denarius of Vespasian.

 

I just purchased the 3rd Caesar for my set. I got what I think is a pretty good deal on a Domitian AR Denarius on eBay. I was able to attribute it to RIC 271 based on the sellers pics. So it was minted while Titus was ruler-- kinda interesting. Should be coming in the mail soon! Other than that I have a Vespasian AR Denarius and a Claudius AE As; so the set's getting there!

Happy collecting
