'A list of Roman emperors and empresses from Augustus to Nerva, with notes on rarity of the coins of each of them. E.g. ‘Eius num. frequent: et tritj’ [his coins are common and worn] (Claudius); ‘Eius num: ex aere omnium Impp: rarissimi sunt’ [his coins in bronze are the rarest of all emperors] (Otho); ‘Prima aereos num: obtinuit a Senatu sed rarissimi sunt’ [she was the first woman to receive bronze coins from the senate, but they are very rare] (Agrippina II); or ‘Eius nummi vulgares et obvii’ [his coins are common and often met](Nerva).' (Burnett 2020b, p. 767)
