Severus denarius and started to read up on the history of that man and his family -- unbelievable (we think we have messy politics NOW?! HAH!).&nbsp; I was hooked.&nbsp; I&#039;m not working on ancients right now - starting with something a little simpler - but I&#039;m always looking for a great Geta (with wreath and spiked beard) denarius. a nice Antonius (Caracalla), and probably a nice Elagbus (with Priapus on the reverse... you know, just for history&#039;s sake <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.&nbsp; Each coin I look at lets me see a little of the history of the parent country - the event/person/location depicted, the artistry, the metals it&#039;s made of - fascinating.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
