<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ignoramus Maximus, post: 4572416, member: 104741&quot;]I collect mostly Greek. I like the iconography. It seems to me that they&#039;re less tethered by convention. There was much less convention: the world of coinage was young, the mould had not yet set. Also their coinage is more about religion and mythology and not about the idolization of a king or emperor. There&#039;s something archaic yet refined about the Greeks that I like.</p><p>But if I see a Roman coin I fancy...why not? Empire or Republic...</p><p>I can also totally see that someone would collect all the dies of this or that issue of emperor X and be perfectly happy with that. Plus, Roman history is, generally speaking, better recorded than Greek and tying a coin to a specific event is exciting as well...</p><p><br /></p><p>If I could afford it I&#039;d start collecting terracotta as well. But that would require the discipline to save money for two or three months before buying or bidding. Don&#039;t see that happening just yet <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
