[QUOTE="RTScott1978, post: 2624371, member: 81306"]Thanks, Steve, I apologize for the outburst, perhaps it was in part due to my attempting to identify some on my own to no avail. I do certainly enjoy the history behind these great pieces, and there are some out of this group - and more I've seen doing my scattered research - which I would say I find more visually appealing than almost any modern coin I've ever come across. Once I've become more familiar with the portraits, the rulers portrayed, and also the myriad other designs on these coins, I'm sure the research will become much easier. The only ancient ruler I'm at all familiar with is Claudius, and, even then, all my info on him comes from the Robert Graves book and nothing further. Anyway, thanks once again, everyone, for all the indispensable help, and there will be more coming down the [I]pike [/I](that's the original idiom, both pike and pipe are used colloquially now) within the next day or two.[/QUOTE]
