<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jamesicus, post: 3327224, member: 14873&quot;]I really can’t remember the details of my first Roman Coin. It was eighty years ago (1939) that an uncle brought me a gift of what I think was a small late Empire coin when he visited us. Of course, there was no internet in those days and I didn’t own any coin books in order to research it, so after a quick in hand examination I put it in my “odds and sods” drawer. We were reading “Caesar in Gaul” at school in those days and I was infused with a love of (especially British) Roman history. The War put my interest in coins on the back burner for the duration. I didn’t become an actual coin collector until after the War was over. The first coin I bought then was an Augustus “altar at Lugdunum” As.</p><p><br /></p><p>Caveat: the above is as I remember it, but it was so long ago and my memory is, at best, fragile now.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
