<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pavlos, post: 3315403, member: 96635&quot;]I have a nice idea that I want to base a part of my collection on. I was already determined to get all the Amisos coins during the reign of Mithridates. However, lately I got so into the Mithridatic wars and Mithridates that I am even reading a book about it/him (The Poison King by Adrienne Mayor). I am planning therefore to get coins from all significant figures during the Mithridatic wars: Mithridates VI, Nikomedes III and IV, Tigranes II, Ariarathes IX, Ariobarzanes I, Ariarathes VI, VII and VIII but also a (or some) coins from the Roman republic. </p><p><br /></p><p>But I know pretty much nothing about Roman coins (only some imperial coins here and there), and even less about Roman Republican coins. What would be the best coins I could pick for this purpose? Preferably under 125-150 dollars a coin since I rather spend a bit more money on the Greek coins then the Roman ones.</p><p><br /></p><p>The most notable Roman characters during the Mithridatic wars are definitely Sulla,</p><p>Lucullus and Pompey. Are there coins from these persons or are they expensive? If they are expensive (or better said way above my budget of 125-150 dollars a coin), what are alternative coins? </p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
