[QUOTE="shernan30, post: 2211912, member: 75113"]As a new collector I find myself beating my head against a wall (or desk while at work) trying to build my collection. My initial focus has been a 12 Caesars set, but this has become less enticing as I have learned more. I've only been learning about ancient coins for the last month so I am very new. I wanted to start this thread for newer collectors such as myself. What are some good sets recommended by the veteran members? Rulers, Dynasties, Mints, Eras, Gods/Goddesses, Animals, etc... Let's hear some ideas. Even a way to mix Greek, Roman, Persian, and Indian together would be neat to hear. If you don't mind [USER=19463]@dougsmit[/USER] I copied this list from the 12 Caesars thread to get everyone thinking: [LIST] [*]any Republican [*]any Imperatorial [*]Augustus [*]Vespasian [*]Trajan [*]Marcus Aurelius [*]Septimius Severus [*]Valerian [*]Aurelian [*]Diocletian [*]Constantine I [*]Theodosius I [/LIST] Don't hesitate to show you collections like [USER=44183]@stevex6[/USER] barn yard animals from the same 12 Caesars set.[/QUOTE]
