A fantastic set. Congrats on a great accomplishment. I remember how good it felt to finish my 12 Caesars in silver. By the way we both have the RIC 107 Vitellius as part of our sets.

Very impressive. May I ask what was the last one you found, and was it the hardest or were you just holding out for a certain minimum condition?

 As I'm never going to be able to afford them in silver!!  What would it cost for a set in bronze ? If it's possible ? And are they easier to find.? Any info really appreciated thanks Saludos Paul |

To answer some questions.....
I acquired them without a chronological order in mind. However, while the Julius Caesar is the most rare and expensive of the set, the Caligula took the longest because I was aiming for a great portrait. I think the Caligula, Claudius, and Julius Caesar are the hardest to find. This collection is valued at around 25k, albeit I am sure it could be done for less. I really overpaid on the Nero, because I really liked that coin. In Bronze it could be done for less. I think I tried it via Vcoins and managed a set for $3000, excepting one emperor whom I believe has limited or no bronze, I can't think of his name off the top of my head. As we all know coin quality varies as do prices. Do you want portraits, legends? I picked up a Bronze low quality Caligula for $100, but sold it off and went silver. My client has the 12 Caesars in Gold, and we assembled it for around $270,000.

What a great set. The artistry of those early celators was just awesome.

A big Congratulations!
I'm not an ancients collector myself, but I have always found their historical significance and old age to be
fascinating.
