Ancient Roman

The Twelve Caesars

The goal of this part of the collection is to get an As of each of the twelve Casesars that is identifiable and within my meager budget. I will however use other denominations if they are with in my budget and the coin appeals to me. I am using the list as compiled by Suetonius.
