<p>[QUOTE=&quot;IdesOfMarch01, post: 2267091, member: 39084&quot;]I couldn&#039;t agree more about the period of the 12 Caesars and its place in history, as well as the emperors themselves.&nbsp; As I&#039;ve written before, it’s arguably the most dynamic, formative, and compelling historical period not only of the Roman Empire but of Euro-centric civilization as a whole.&nbsp; Imagine the difficulty of ruling such a vast empire in its infancy and early stages; think about the events memorialized on those coins!</p><p><br /></p><p>By all means, ignore the insults that have been ignorantly hurled your way as you decide where next to focus your interest and attention in ancient coins.&nbsp; What fires others&#039; imagination may or may not be that which fires yours.&nbsp; It&#039;s always valuable to genuinely and objectively hear alternative suggestions, but it&#039;s never worthwhile to pay attention to small-minded insults.</p><p><br /></p><p>One theme that&#039;s always interested me is the representation of significant events and structures that appear on the reverses of ancient coins.&nbsp; Campgates, ceremonies, military triumphs, etc., can be found on a wide range of ancient coins. Take a look at Ancient Joe&#039;s collection to see what I mean.</p><p><br /></p><p>Good luck![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
