I already had a Vitellius I was happy with but this one surfaced as a one time deal so I parted with my other and put it toward this one which cost a bit more but worth it. I liked the portrait filling up the flan more then my old & it's a better reverse type.

And you've gotta love those short-lived civil war emperors. 69 AD was a very interesting year.
So you did it... all Twelve Caesars!
When did you sneak that Otho in on us? Was it during one of my Yeti disappearances, or did you already show it to me and it went out of my memory?
I think your virtual tray has every bit the appeal that my old set had, and was no doubt done with a lot less money and without wasting any on pricey slabs or a fancypants wooden slab box.
Looks nice on the black background.
You did it the old school way, and that's cool.
