<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lordmarcovan, post: 6662347, member: 10461&quot;]Yes, my fire burned really hot for Roman Imperials in 2007-08, during my first year collecting them.&nbsp; In that short time I acquired somewhere between 100 and 110 different emperors and empresses... in the space of <i>a single year</i>, before I got sacked during the Recession and had to sell everything to survive.</p><p><br /></p><p>I was <i>hooked!</i>&nbsp; Looking back on that collection now, I’d say I did OK, but too many of the coins were of “meh” quality with rather bland reverse types.</p><p><br /></p><p>But I learned more about the history and the coins in that single year than I would have by taking several college courses.&nbsp; Nowadays I’m a bit more restrained and choosier (and perhaps a bit poorer), with a much tinier (but higher quality) collection of ancients.&nbsp; But that large if short-lived novice collection was a wonderful self-tutorial.&nbsp; The enthusiasm of a newly-born endeavor is indeed intoxicating.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
