<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 3567601, member: 76194&quot;]LOL. It&#039;s hard to mess up with Republican coinage. Most of them are pretty cool, even the common ones. Just don&#039;t go too crazy with Roma obverses with Bigga reverses. For some reason, from around 160 BCE through 110 BCE the Romans pulled a card out of the US. Mint&#039;s playbook and pumped out the same style of coinage for many decades in numbers that would make your head spin. And before that it was an unhealthy obsession with the Dioscuri brothers.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are exceptions though, and occasionally some coiner would pump out coins in a different theme just to be a contrarian and do something different from the same worn out themes his fellow coiners were so adamant to pump out. Those are the coins that interest me the most, as they stand out. Though I&#039;m not above collecting yet another Dioscuri brothers reverse or Bigga reverse if the price and style are right.</p><p><br /></p><p>Denarii from around 110 BCE through the Imperatorial era get more fun and interesting, as you see tons of different themes starting to come into play. The creativity of that time period would never be matched again by the Romans.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
