<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Meander, post: 2535262, member: 81943&quot;]I got to the ancient coins through my study of ancient history. I first looked for some ancient coins on the internet when reading a book from Warren Treadgold on Byzantine state and society. The author adresses the coinage and its role in the Byzantine economy very thorougly. When I saw some pictures of actual coins I didn&#039;t find them aesthetically pleasing so I let it rest for a while. But later I found some references to masterpieces of ancient celators from Greek Sicily so I had a second look if they did any better than the Byzantines. And oh boy they did. I decided to buy myself some nice specimens. I didnt really know where to start before I stumbled upon an article on Harlan Berk&#039;s website titled &quot;Your first 25 silver Greek coins&quot;. I liked his reasoning so I decided to complete &quot;the set&quot; sometimes in the future. I never actually did because later I branched out into Romans and you really cant buy them all <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> But I became hooked nevertheless.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
