[QUOTE="ambr0zie, post: 5187100, member: 80952"]One of the things that surprised me when I started collecting ancient coins was that you could find a lot that are budget friendly. Very budget friendly. Many people, including some collectors (not interested in ancient coins) are under the impression even the cheaper late Roman bronzes are extremely expensive. 2020 was the first year when I focused on ancients and in 90% of the cases I think they were bargains.

Just some examples, I have more, but I like these ones the most except from the ones I posted in my top 10. My first lot of ancients (34 coins) was won with 100 EUR, well below their real market price, as most of them were in decent condition. I like all the coins presented in the OP, I find #8 in a very good condition and execution for an Arcadius coin.[/QUOTE]
