<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Limes, post: 7325555, member: 101013&quot;]Many can and will contest this assertion. Nevertheless, Roman gold is popular and has been and probably will be. Some of my favorite Roman coin designs are struck in silver and gold, some only in silver and some in bronze and not in precious metals. However, to me beauty is not dependent on metal. To put it even better, when it comes to &#039;beauty&#039;, or true art, I think of Greek coinage. The true fascinating aspect of Roman coinage is that each coins tells a story and the mastery of the Romans to have been able to design coins which send out such strong messages. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Well, me and my wife do. However, we &#039;merely&#039; have fulfilling jobs in public service (health care, child care) and although I will never complain about our lives and the good care we can give our kids, the chances of every owning a XF aureus, or that rare and XF denarius of Augustus, are zero. I don&#039;t care, and I&#039;m happy for the people that can and those who are willing to share their treasure with us. (Some day in the future, when the kids are independent, I hope to be able to score an aVF aureus though <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
