Very interesting even if I don't collect Roman coins.

Very nice. You're getting quite the late collection - who do you still have left to go?
My late roman collection is just a hash of Eastern emperors (Marcian, Leo, Zeno and Anastasius) with one actual rarity (Zenonis, wife of Basiliscus). I've still got my eyes peeled for when one of these late emperors to come through unidentified - that advice about the Os becoming dots should come in handy.

You always bring the coin to life VK. This is another case of a what if scenario.

who do you still have left to go? Quite a few, but I would have to win the lottery to even consider the other late western emperors. Realistically if I save up my money and sell, I could maybe get Avitus within at least a couple of years. Quote:

This is another case of a what if scenario. Very true. Majorian was pretty close to reforming the Western empire into a more stable state. One can only speculate the course of history had he succeeded. Thanks all for the comments! |

Majorian is probably the rarest possible emperor on the market! Great job, VK!

Thanks DannDaMan! Majorian was one I wanted ever since I first devoted myself to collecting 5th century Roman coins My example of him is definitely one of my favorites in my collection.
