<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bluegill, post: 942405, member: 1748&quot;]I’m interested in ancient coins, but I only have a few.&nbsp; I find the whole area endlessly interesting and enjoyable.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, the endlessness and variety is part of my problem.&nbsp; I haven’t read a lot of history, and I’m far from being even modestly knowledgeable regarding collecting ancient coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>My collecting budget is also extremely small; however, I’m very inspired by the collectors here who have assembled fun and interesting collections and who state that many or most of their coins were under $30.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, I really feel like I need some advice from some of you on reading material.&nbsp; I’ve seen—and love looking at—various ancient coin-related Web sites, and do some reading on historical figures on Wikipedia.</p><p><br /></p><p>The recommendations I’m looking for books you’ve enjoyed on ancient history.&nbsp; I want something I can read in bed at night, on lunch break, etc.&nbsp; The book store has plenty of books that look pretty good, but it’s hard to tell what will be really good reading.</p><p><br /></p><p>Do you have favorite history books regarding ancient Rome? Ancient Greece?
