The problem with collecting ancients is how to stop

So now I restarted, I started looking at other copper and bronze coins. Picked this one just because it looked too nice to not pick.

Maximinus-II-Portrait,-Follis-Nummus

Genius on the reserve is nicely done, but the emperor portrait, having had time with the coin in hand I can see it is a very different art style already.

I think I will try to stick with an emperor face collection of sestertii only.

People who collect the more classical look on portraits, at which emperor do you mark the divide between styles?

I'm in the same boat as you. I can't stop looking for and buying Romans. I like the ones with good eye appeal. Unfortunately, my pockets are empty most of the time so I'm usually short on the do-re-mi.
