'the Twelve Caesars' Bronze Set Completed

The project mentioned in a number of recent posts is finished and I'd like to share with you the results. Below is a statement of the scope of the set and a description of each coin, most of which were written by the seller, accompanied by a photo. Comment is earnestly invited.

Scope of the project: To acquire a bronze coin of each of the twelve Caesars featured in the so-named work by Suetonius. The coins can be of any denomination and from any mint, imperial or provincial. Each portrait should be reasonably identifiable without aid from the inscription. The name of the Caesar should be as complete and legible as practicality and budget allow. Variety will be a key characteristic of the set, with different sizes, colors and styles sought out in the acquisition phase.
