[QUOTE="Daniel_R6, post: 2911344, member: 91145"]Hi All I've been reading the Ancients forum for a while now and thought it was about time I joined in the conversation. To introduce myself briefly: I'm in my mid-30s. I'm based in Melbourne, Australia and work in the financial services industry. Back at uni I majored in classical studies and my interest in ancient history (particularly Roman) has slowly resurfaced over the last couple of years. I've picked up only a handful of ancients during this time, mostly because of other priorities in my life (starting a family, moving back to Australia after five years overseas). So far my collecting has focused mostly on third-century Roman Imperial silver, which I find to be both interesting and priced within what my budget allows. Attached is an image of the first coin I purchased about three years ago: [ATTACH=full]703014[/ATTACH] [B]Philip I, 244-249 AD[/B] Silver Antoninianus, Rome, 3.52g, 22.6cm O: IMP M IVL PHILLIPPUS AVG, Radiate, draped and cuirassed bust right R: SECVRIT ORBIS, Securitas seated left, scepter in right, propping head on left hand Look forward to joining in the discussions here, and hopefully I'll slowly continue to build my collection through 2018. Edit: formatting[/QUOTE]
