[QUOTE="IdesOfMarch01, post: 2594525, member: 39084"]The broad definition of a 12 Caesars set seems to be "one coin struck during the reign of each of the 12 Caesars listed by Suetonius." Narrower areas of focus in the 12 Caesars are typically (1) lifetime portrait obverses for each of the Caesars (see Bing's and Cucumbor's sets above), and (2) one metal/type (aurei, denarii, sestertii, asses) of each Caesar (as is Bing's AR set above). These are a little more difficult to assemble, and in some cases impossible since, e.g., no aurei with Julius Caesar's portrait were struck during his lifetime. There has been a lot of discussion on this topic in past years on this site. Try starting here: [url]https://www.cointalk.com/threads/what-is-a-12-caesars-set.235118/[/url][/QUOTE]
