[QUOTE="nerosmyfavorite68, post: 24892810, member: 134416"]Other suggestions: Coins of the emperors from 69-192. Generally affordable and there's a ton of variety, both imperial and provincial. The large 40 nummia coins of Justinian I. Years 12-14 (the largest module) are relatively expensive ($150 for a decent one), but his coins are quite affordable. Even more so if one goes the pre-facing bust route. The side profile ones are relatively dirt cheap. Those are also usually decrepit. Nummi of the Tetrarchy and later ones ofConstantine/Licinius. Post-reform Antoninianii of Aurelian and Probus. A really nice one wil be $60, on a good day. $30 for halfway decent. The youtube channel Classical Numismatics has a lot of relevant videos. He even did one recently about ancient coins which are still affordable today. Go through dealer stock and find what appeals to you, and then go to the podcasts and start listening.
