<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 8129576, member: 19463"]My favorite has to be snake cowboy. The type has become a symbol of the inner circle to which I aspire membership. If it is not asking too much I would like the Caracalla or Geta (listed in Emmett but not seen by me) or even the Septimius or Domna (not known to exist but that doesn't mean they never were made). Many if not most Severan from Alexandria are R5's and there are types listed that just never show up (what is a Theoxenion - Emmett 1717 - a coin so poor it could not be identified?) so we may as well wish for the impossible. I am not a statistician but I'm sure there is a formula that would predict the likelihood of unknown types from a set that has so many unique examples. Given the resources, anyone can collect what exists. The impossible takes longer. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie77" alt=":pompous:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.04.0063%3Aalphabetic+letter%3DT%3Aentry+group%3D2%3Aentry%3Dtheoxenia-cn" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.04.0063%3Aalphabetic+letter%3DT%3Aentry+group%3D2%3Aentry%3Dtheoxenia-cn" rel="nofollow">https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus:text:1999.04.0063:alphabetic+letter=T:entry+group=2:entry=theoxenia-cn</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
