<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bart9349, post: 1401922, member: 5682&quot;]I am not a coin collector, but I did take the course two years ago. (It wasn&#039;t offered last year.) I might take it again this year, too.</p><p><br /></p><p>The numismatic knowledge of the students ranges from absolute beginners with no background in Ancients to one or two sharp students who are doing graduate work in the classics.</p><p><br /></p><p>Don&#039;t worry, however, since there were several YNers in the class with no knowledge of Ancient history and very little experience with Ancient numismatics. Except for a brief self-introduction in the beginning (&quot;Why did you take this course and what do you hope to get out of it?&quot;), you don&#039;t have to say anything. David vagi, one of the directors of the course, is very patient with everyone.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is a very laid back course.</p><p><br /></p><p>You really don&#039;t need to know anything about Ancient history to enjoy the course. I think knowing about Ancient history enriches the experience, however. </p><p><br /></p><p>I recommend it highly. Let me know if you want resources to help prepare for the course. Remember. however, you don&#039;t need any background knowledge to enjoy the course. This year&#039;s course seems especially geared for beginners.</p><p><br /></p><p>guy</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]168766.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
