<p>[QUOTE=&quot;sand, post: 7939716, member: 118540&quot;]Here are my ancient Roman coins. These coins span a history of over 700 years, from 211 BC to 498 AD. There are ancient Roman coins, that are way earlier than 211 BC, but I don&#039;t have any of those, yet. It&#039;s interesting to think about, how people&#039;s lives changed, during that 700 years, including the upper class, the middle class, and the lower class. I&#039;ve been collecting ancient coins for 3 years, and US coins since childhood. It&#039;s been a wild and crazy 3 years. Thank you CoinTalk, for teaching me so much, about ancient coins. And for the fun times, I&#039;ve had, talking with fellow ancient coin collectors, about coins, and everything else under the sun. If you feel like it, you could post your favorite ancient Roman coin, that you own, and tell why it is your favorite. Or whatever else is relevant.</p><p>---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p><p>Coin 1 : Anonymous AE As. 211 BC To 206 BC. Rome Mint.
