<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1273853, member: 26302&quot;]Klawans has been belittled, but I find his books fun for beginners. Its a great point, in that the more you put into ancients the more you get out of it. The more you learn about them, the more interesting they become. </p><p><br /></p><p>In the ancient world, most people were illiterate. The legends on the coins, therefor, were not of much interest to most. The symbolism, however, everyone understood. Its like a foreign language to us, but a language that resonated with the population at the time. If you simply assume every little detail on a coin was put there for a reason, you will see how much symbolism was being conveyed. Too many new collectors simply think the design was &quot;cool looking&quot; and don&#039;t understand the important messages being conveyed on the coins, something that to me makes them more interesting by far.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
