<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Noah Worke, post: 8671276, member: 115032&quot;]Yup, I have a Gordian with Mars on the reverse:[ATTACH=full]1520656[/ATTACH]</p><p>And although I didn&#039;t read too much about his reign aside from skimming Wikipedia, it did suck me in. I never bought any late Roman bronzes, though. This was my first coin, and it took me so long to get a second because the emperors I cared about were so expensive. I agree though, it&#039;s a good idea to learn about his reign. I bought a coin of Antoninus Pius, and I&#039;m reading a book about his reign. If you read a book that focuses on coins as well such as I am, it can really help to find fascinating issues from certain emperors that you didn&#039;t even know existed (speaking from experience). To build on the previous posts, learning about the Roman religion and their gods is important because that gives you insight on the meaning of these coins. I didn&#039;t read too much beforehand, and it gets pretty annoying searching for the gods while you&#039;re just trying to decide on a coin to buy.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m really jealous of you finding ancient coins at your local coin store. I have exactly two, and they both deal almost exclusively in US coins, though the one further away does have some world coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
