<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Carthago, post: 2263950, member: 76111&quot;]I&#039;m sure I&#039;m not the only one here to have a collection focus that has a beginning and end in what can be collected.&nbsp; Mine is Roman Republican, mostly silver.&nbsp; The actual end of the series is not necessarily perfectly agreed by all.&nbsp; Some seem to feel it ends with the rise of Julius Caesar, some the Battle of Actium, and others the conferment of the title Augustus to Octavian.&nbsp; Being a big fan of Imperatorial issues, I end my collection with Augustus and here&#039;s my set stopper with the earliest provenance picture and the latest. </p><p><br /></p><p>Augustus. 27 BC-AD 14.
