Some rulers issued coins both as
Augustus and as the junior rank of
Caesar. In a few cases, both of these variations are easily obtainable but in a few cases one is substantially more
scarce than the other. A
thread on the Beginner
Forvm recently asked if
Geta ever was (or issued coins as)
Augustus because most coins seen were
Geta as
Caesar. That gave me the idea for one last attempt at a quiz for this year.
Name a pair of rulers not mentioned higher up in the list one of whose coins are substantially more
scarce as
Augustus and the other more
scarce as
Caesar. Do not list people who never issued coins as one or the other and avoid those whose coins are about equally
scarce both ways. For example, I'll start byposting
Geta as more
scarce as
Augustus and
Gordian III as more
scarce as
Caesar. How many pairs can we list? Start immediately but only post one pair
per day to give others a chance to use the easy ones.
