<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Multatuli, post: 2869861, member: 89266&quot;]Only now I&#039;ve seen this thread. An excellent suggestion from [USER=83845]@Curtisimo[/USER]. All have excellent histories, specially yours, [USER=76194]@Sallent[/USER]! I live in São Paulo, the main city of Brazil. I am 43 years old, pediatrician and child neurologist around 20 years. I’m married, with a 3 year old son and a little girl about to be born. Dutch father and Italian mother of Venice. Thus, besides speaking Portuguese and English, I also understand Dutch, Italian and Spanish.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]685544[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I started &quot;collecting&quot; coins around my 5 years old, after finding a small box with old coins in a cabinet of my grandmother&#039;s office. I&#039;ve never stopped that since. I collect coins from all periods, but in recent years, my interests are more geared towards ancient and medieval numismatics. My first old coin, a Delmatius AE, I bought at age 14. It is difficult to attribute my favorite coin, but since I was a child, routinely flipping through an old Dutch encyclopedia of the 50&#039;s (Winkler Prins) at my Oma&#039;s house, I would see a LIBERTAS-type Brutus denarius (54 BC) and I wondered if any day would have an equal. I already had an equal since 10 years ago, however [USER=74968]@Orfew[/USER] was faster to post it. So, I will post here my other denarius of Brutus (Ahala), bought from Jean Elsen. I always traveled a lot to Europe, so I always had access to good numismatic houses and made good friends. I learned a lot from that. Here, I feel like it&#039;s no different. I felt welcomed by most.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]685551[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]685552[/ATTACH]</p><p>Roman Republic AR denarius - Gens Junia. Marcus Iunius Brutus Q. Caepius.</p><p>54 BC - Rome mint.
