[QUOTE="Finn235, post: 4015079, member: 98035"]Great post! I don't actively collect the terminal empire, beyond "one of each emperor" and I gravitate toward the nicer types. I do have a small baggie of unattributed coins - I always save the ones from lots that "could" be one of the white whale emperors or usurpers, or ones that really stand out to me. I think I have one of this type that could be a post sack barbarian imitation. The flan is small enough that there is nothing but the portrait on the obverse, and the reverse only has the lower half of Roma and OF to the left. As for my late Roman coins... Arcadius CONCORDIA AVGGG, Cyzicus (404-406 AD) [ATTACH=full]1055830[/ATTACH] Aelia Eudoxia, Arcadius' wife and mother of Theodosius II SALVS REIPVBLICE 401-403 [ATTACH=full]1055831[/ATTACH] Honorius VIRTVS EXERCITI, Cyzicus (Never realized how hard it is to find a "nice" AE of his until I started really looking!) 395-401 [ATTACH=full]1055829[/ATTACH] Theodosius II as a toddler CONCORDIA AVGGG, Heraclea 404-406 [ATTACH=full]1055826[/ATTACH] Later in life Anepigraphic cross reverse, Antioch 423-435 [ATTACH=full]1055827[/ATTACH] One of the unknowns, *maybe* Johannes?
