<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ValpoBeginner, post: 2847777, member: 77066&quot;]I think that my next purchases will be more coins of the 5 Good Emperors, or rather the four remaining ones. I watched some really good documentaries Antonius Pius, Marcus Aurelius, and&nbsp; Commodus.&nbsp; I then made the connection between the movie Gladiator( 1998) and Emperor Commodus,&nbsp; the antagonist in the story.&nbsp; I didn&#039;t even know that that movie was loosely based on history. </p><p><br /></p><p>But I do like Roman fiction also, there were a set of Ancient Roman Detective books, by a female author that I really liked.&nbsp; I only remember one of the titles, The Silver Pigs.</p><p><br /></p><p>I really don&#039;t have an interest in the Late Roman era.&nbsp; I read about the &quot;dirty dozen&quot;&nbsp; commonly found ancient coins , that are really just common and somewhat hastily struck.&nbsp; So I will be staying away from those.&nbsp; I hope to be sharing more coins soon.&nbsp; I found a reputable dealer in Indianapolis, so&nbsp; I&#039;ll be going back there next month.&nbsp; Plus I have a friend in a masters Program in Archaeology, currently in TN, who I&#039;ve been trading with in Moderns.&nbsp; His specialty is Ancient European Civilizations, so I am hoping to see his finds through email and share those pics with you guys too.&nbsp; The summer before I met him,&nbsp; he spent on a dig in Italy.&nbsp; A bright kid.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
