<p>[QUOTE=&quot;zumbly, post: 1863165, member: 57495&quot;]I bought my first RR two months ago and haven&#039;t added many since then.&nbsp; Apart from RRs still being alien landscape to me compared to Imperial coinage, I find that the design themes fall into two categories - too much of the same stuff (Roma obverses, quadriga and Dioscuri reverses), or just too esoteric.&nbsp; The OP coin falls somewhat into the second category for me - I find it fascinating, but I&#039;d rather know what the prow and grasshopper are doing on it.&nbsp; Some mystifying elements won&#039;t stop me from appreciating or trying to purchase an RR that catches my fancy, but I suppose as has often been said, I should buy the books (or read the websites) before I&nbsp; buy the coins.&nbsp; Anyone have any suggestions?&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>There was one RR from this Pecunem auction that I was eyeing, but it ended up way above what I was able to pay.&nbsp; Happily, I managed to pick up a cheaper example of the same type from the most recent Roma auction <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.&nbsp; I&#039;ll post it when it arrives.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
