<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gavin Richardson, post: 3875617, member: 83956&quot;][ATTACH=full]1023804[/ATTACH] Technically, my 12 Caesars set is complete once my AMCC 2 Otho arrives. But I would like to upgrade my Titus.</p><p><br /></p><p>My collecting guideline for my 12 Caesars set is to collect as many middle bronze issues as can reasonably be had. (I have opted for denarii only for Julius Caesar and Otho.) And indeed I have collected imperial, not provincial, issues. However, I do not insist that a given emperor be Augustus at the time of the coin strike.
