<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jwt708, post: 2449187, member: 32619&quot;]In middle school I became interested in Shakespeare and read many of his plays and sonnets. Never was interested in acting though. Think the Tempest is probably my favorite of the ones I&#039;ve read. As a freshman I was checking out his collected works from the school library one morning and the senior honors English teacher saw me and invited me to attend her senior class&#039;s field trip to Chicago to watch a performance of A Mid Summer&#039;s Night Dream. Very cool experience and the only play I&#039;ve ever seen. </p><p><br /></p><p>My first ancient was a lot of twelve bought in 2013:</p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/media/first-12.3751/full" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>I&#039;ve shown these guys plenty of times though. How about my latest addition that is in my possession that I haven&#039;t shown?</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/media/jwt-132-alexander-balas-apollo.4481/full" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>Seleucid Kingdom, Alexander Balas, 150-146 BC</p><p>AE18, 5g, 12h; Antioch mint.</p><p>Obv.: Head of Alexander right, in lion skin headdress.</p><p>Rev.: BAΣIΛEΩΣ AΛEΞANΔΡOY; Apollo standing left, holding bow and arrows, palm branch in left field, monogram below.</p><p><br /></p><p>Word is he usurped power from Demetrius I Soter and lived a life of debauchery afterwards. </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/media/jwt-86-demetrios-i-soter-tyche.3904/full" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>Seleucid Kingdom, Demetrios I Soter, 162-150 BC</p><p>AR tetradrachm, 16g, 32mm; Antioch mint, 162-155 BC</p><p>Obv.: Diademed head of Demetrios I right within wreath.</p><p>Rev.: Tyche, holding scepter and cornucopia, seated left on throne supported by tritonesses right, monogram to outer left.
