<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 2266998, member: 26302&quot;]Its hard to tell you how to get a focus. Certain areas simply speak to you. I am a fan of multiple focuses, (obviously), and people think I just buy willy nilly. Sometimes I do, but I really do have many focus areas, like Sogdian, Cleo VII, Hunnic, Emesa stone issues, Pharos of Alexandria, art deco LRB, etc etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>I collect what gives ME pleasure. That is the great luxury of ancient collecting, short of very few things like 12 Caesars, there ARE no predefined &quot;sets&quot;. Buy what interests you, what makes you more interested in the history the coin depicts. There is not any wrong answer.</p><p><br /></p><p>Btw, let me ask you a question [USER=74968]@Orfew[/USER]. Does the period of the 12 Caesars really interest you, or did you put that set together because its a &quot;set&quot;, and someone told you what you should buy? If you did it because you are particularly attracted to the era, then fine, but if you did it because someone else told you &quot;this is what makes a set&quot; then you are doing it wrong. Read about coins, look at coins, read history, and decide what YOU find interesting. That is what it is all about here in our dark little corner, finding our PERSONAL satisfaction through coins. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
