[QUOTE="Limes, post: 4839419, member: 101013"]Nice coin [USER=111037]@Only a Poor Old Man[/USER]! Just let it sink in, perhaps you will turn to Romans more :-) Two thoughts: I personally collect Romans because of the direct historical link with my country. Romans shaped western-Europe, and many links still exist. And not just the old bricks and stones :-) Secondly, I am facinated by the coinage, because of the messages they contain. They were tools of propaganda. Some are very appealing, perhaps some can be called pieces of art.
