<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Roman Collector, post: 7870288, member: 75937&quot;]Inspired by [USER=114699]@zadie[/USER]&#039;s 12 Caesar thread, which was about Domitian, not the list compiled by Suetonius, I thought I&#039;d post twelve coins (six per post because there&#039;s only room for 10) featuring various chaps with the title of Caesar. I have more than 12 -- as I imagine most members here do -- so I&#039;m posting some in random order.</p><p><br /></p><p>Let&#039;s see your coins for various guys bearing the title of Caesar!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/severus-ii-sac-mon-vrb-avgg-et-caess-nn-follis-rome-jpg.1301146/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Severus II, Caesar 1 May AD 305 - 25 July, 306.</p><p>Roman billon follis, 9.10 g, 27.1 mm, 11 h.</p><p>Rome, third officina, c.
