<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3022512, member: 19463&quot;]I&#039;d be interested in hearing the thought process that makes a Flavian specialist find Elagabalus&#039; silver the next thing to study.&nbsp; I rarely can explain where my whims will take me next so I don&#039;t say you should have reasons that can be put in words but it would interesting if you could.&nbsp; Also, what characteristic will a coin of Elagabalus need to have to qualify as the first acquisition.&nbsp; I am most fond of Eastern mint denarii of several rulers so it is no surprise that my favorite coins of Elagabalus (and Domitian) are Easties.&nbsp; For that matter, I do tend to hold it against a ruler who only used one mint or whose coins are all openly mintmarked but not separated by distinctive style.&nbsp; Perhaps some numismatic psychologist could explain the factors that drives some of us in one direction and others in others.&nbsp;&nbsp; I have no idea where I will go next.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
