Going to the local coin shop was a huge reward and treat digging through the bins.</p><p><br /></p><p>For my eighth birthday, my parents got me a book on coins. Yes it was a very general book, however the back had around 11 pages of “Ancients” (Greek and Roman) which really peaked my interest.</p><p><br /></p><p>As a kid, I obviously did not have any money but would go through the book and stare through it for hours! The Ancients section blew me away as they looked so different.</p><p><br /></p><p>I finally saw a few simple common Fourth Century Romans at a shop in Florida during March Break and took two of them home with me. Around that time the internet started to gain popularity. I was still too young to go and buy online, however there were now beautiful colour photos available to look at online rather than old blurry black and whites.</p><p><br /></p><p>Looking back at that catalogue, it was my bible.
