<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Dafydd, post: 2796352, member: 86815&quot;]Great advice from everyone and as with any specialist collecting field buy the books before the item. The best thing you have done is to join this forum as there is so much knowledge and generosity in sharing it here. I was &quot;in the wilderness&quot; before I joined and made some bad mistakes being impetuous. Once you have started reading the erudite titles you may also want to read some fictional novels by authors such as Simon Scarrow and Robert Fabbri, great fun, timelines are accurate and they explain some of the machinations of the politics in an easy manner. I still get a buzz out of holding something that might have bought a drink or a meal 2000 years ago and could have been a soldiers daily wage on campaign or used to buy anything essential to everyday life.</p><p>Themes are endless, political, military, social, 12 Caesars, Year of the 4 Emperors, Provincial mints, denominations etc. You could spend the rest of your life collecting reverses with animals, Turtles, Horses, Eagles, statues, captives. </p><p>It is quite mind blowing.</p><p>As suggested some of the later Roman coins are less expensive and you get a lot of coin for your dollar. Google fake roman ebay coin sellers and you will find a couple of lists. There is a lot about this to read in this forum.</p><p>Welcome![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
