Maximinus Thrax is fascinating. I got a book about him recently.
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] Birthday gift I got for myself a few days ago. Not terribly expensive, it's a fun coin to have and an interesting complement to...
I don't do it for the investment, just out of enjoyment of the hobby, so I'd say first and foremost my goal is to add coins to my collection that...
