[QUOTE="GregH, post: 2246250, member: 75936"][ATTACH=full]443773[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]443774[/ATTACH] Hi all Greg from Melbourne, Australia here. I'm new (though not new to the hobby) and have been reading the discussions for a few months. I'm a one-coin-per-Roman-ruler collector. I was wondering: what is the rarest emperor in your collection? Mine is Uranius Antoninus (see attached - please pardon the clumsy way i present my coins) SYRIA, Seleucis and Pieria. Emesa. Uranius Antoninus. Usurper, AD 253-254. Æ (32mm, 16.75 g, 12h). Dated SE 565 (AD 253/4). Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust right / Baetyl of El–Gabal, decorated with eagle flanked by parasols, within hexastyle temple; crescent in pediment, ЄΞΦ (date) in exergue; SNG Hunterian 3174 (same obv. die); BMC 24 (same obv. die). Please make me jealous with photos of your rare emperors! I don't have Majorian, Olybrius, Glycerius, Regalianus, Nepotian, Martinian, Saturninus to name a few. I don't know if i will ever get them all. I'll probably end up focusing on a speciality (is that what happens to most people)? Greg[/QUOTE]
