<p>[QUOTE=&quot;octavius, post: 5446154, member: 100777&quot;]I agree with Alegandron&#039;s advice. You mentioned you &quot;felt lost&quot; dealing with ancients. I think it would be just as important to consider history books as coin books when considering ancient coins. For most of us I think it is the historical aspect that ignites our interest. The coins provide us with a tangible link to those exciting events of the past, and no longer are they merely pretty , shiny objects. Books of the republic, or Suetonius&#039; Twelve Caesars, or even the novel I Claudius by Robert Graves may spark an interest in a particular period or personality and trigger a search for a related coin. Or you may prefer Greece and check out some books on ancient Greek civilization and the various city states. The coins will mean so much more to you with some knowledge of the historical background.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
