[QUOTE="AussieCollector, post: 3645863, member: 81093"]I did it! I finished my ancient collection! One full page for ancient Greek coins, and one full page for the Roman Republic and Empire. Just joking.... I will never be finished. But this is a milestone - I have achieved my initial goal for my ancient coins. I guess now I need to decide whether I continue to expand (e.g. split the Republic from Empire, and then also create a Western Roman Empire and an Eastern Roman Empire) or start upgrading (or do both...). One thing I've realised is that I don't actually like bronze coins all that much. The eye appeal of silver is what excites me. So I will not be buying bronzes going forward, unless the patina makes the coin absolutely pop (like on the Claudius II Antoninianus below). Anyway, here are some photos of my complete collection (which unfortunately turned out very yellow).
