<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Roman Collector, post: 2844121, member: 75937&quot;]One of the things I like about ancient coin collecting is that there are no pre-defined notions of what constitutes a series and the collector can simply decide on what might constitute a series and what would fit in the collection.</p><p><br /></p><p>One can be very general, such as:</p><p><br /></p><blockquote><p>One coin depicting each of &quot;The 12 Caesars&quot; from Suetonius&#039; book of that title</p><p>One denarius of each member of the Severan dynasty</p><p>One example of a coin from each mint in the province of Moesia Inferior</p><p>Coins depicting lions as a major design element</p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p>Or one could be more specific, such as:</p><p><br /></p><blockquote><p>All reverse types on the denarii of Crispina</p><p>An example of GLOR-IA EXERC-ITVS reduced centenionales of Constantius II from each officina of each mint</p><p>Issues commemorating the marriage of Gordian III and Tranquillina.</p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s up to the collector to set goals in ancient coin collecting. I think that&#039;s part of the appeal of this branch of coin collecting.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
