[QUOTE="Gallienus, post: 5304739, member: 42034"][B][COLOR=#ff0000]Stone the Blasphmemer!!!![/COLOR][/B] I love late Roman. Normally I like variety and I'll admit that late Roman coinage is somewhat more uniform as they were having issues with the stability of the Empire. The thing about late Roman is once you get away from Honorius and a couple of others whose coinage comprises ~95% of all late Roman it's quite interesting historically as well as sometimes rare. Here are a few of mine: [ATTACH=full]1223762[/ATTACH] Jovinus, failed usurper, 411-413 AD, silver siliqua [ATTACH=full]1223764[/ATTACH] Julian, the Greek Philosopher, called by Nazarenes as "the Apostate", 360 - 363 AD, bronze nummus [ATTACH=full]1223766[/ATTACH] Julius Nepos, the last Western legitimate Emperor, said by some authorities to be the last Emperor of the West. 474 - 475 AD, d. 480 AD, gold tremissis But the thread is about things that we're not crazy about. I tend to like variety and will go for virtually anything that doesn't move too quickly... I guess I don't collect Persian/ Islamic dirhems silver or gold. You know the ones that just have writing on both sides and look the same whether they were made in 750 AD or in 1750. And to think of all the neat Roman & Greek gold and silver coins they must've melted down to make those suckers...[/QUOTE]
