[QUOTE="Bradley Trotter, post: 4125046, member: 101226"]Yesterday I finally made my first serious purchase to start a collection of ancient coins. I ended up buying a pair of Roman Denarii from the reign of Marcus Aurelius and his reprehensible son Commodus who essentially brought about the end of Pax Romana. Overall, though, I thank this forum for sparking an interest in an area of numismatics, I ignored until recently. Obverse Left: Commodus Denarius 181 - 182 AD Obv: AD.
