50 - Started hobby at 47 after the Wife returned from a trip to Rome with friends. Watched the HBO series which lead to coins then to ancient texts and several trips to Rome. Have gone full Otaku on all things ancient Roman.

27 here. I'm bad at remembering how old they all were when they died, but I think I'm somewhere between Herennius Etruscus and Caracalla.

As for how I got into the hobby, I was drafted into coin collecting from a young age from grandparents, aunts and uncles who collected. History and old things fascinated me, and I dreamed of one day owning a genuine ancient coin, but everyone told me that there was no such thing as a genuine ancient coin that costs less than $100.

I joined this forum in 2011 for the CRH section, and stumbled over here. The rest is history.

Two score & a Threepenny bit
Constantius ii comes closest as he died age 44, 2 months and some days, less than a year difference.
I came to ancients only a couple of years ago thanks to a former member on here, I simply didn't have the opportunity earlier in life, being the youngest of 9 children was a little crazy at the best of times

Constantius ii

23! I just realized how long its been since I'v posted anything..

Off the top of my head...I'm pretty sure Tiberius' reign lasted close to 23 years

Here is my favourite coin, I own, of Tiberius from Spain Italica. Hope you enjoy it.

Tiberius AE29 of Italica, Spain.
TI CAESAR AVGVSTVS PONT MAX IMP, bare head right
MVNIC ITALIC PERM DIVI AVG, altar inscribed PROIDENTIAE AVGVSTI.
Burgos 1250.
