The fifteenth time period (year 150 to 200) of our little game starts now.

In Rome, e.g. Marcus Aurelius, Faustina II, L. Verus, Lucilla, Commodus, Crispina, Pescennius Niger, Perinax, Clodius Albinus, Septimius Severus, Julia Domna and many more

Worldwide: still Chinas Eastern Han Dynasty, Kushan Emire, Parthia, Elymais and many more.

 

For two days it is 

year 150 to the year 200 

And remember: This is not only for exactly datable coins, but for all coins which fit in the time period, worldwide; i.e. all coins which were at least probably/possibly minted during this period
