It would be simpler to say that out of all my Roman coins, I <u>think Republican era coins are generally <b>uninteresting, boring and ugly.</b></u> Give me a good 3rd Century imperial is what I say, particularly Galic Empire and Crisis Era coinage. Now those are interesting. Roman Republic coinage not so much, which is why I don&#039;t have that many of them. Just my opinion though....so don&#039;t crucify me. I&#039;m sure my opinion here will probably not be too popular amongst this crowd.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
