<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bart9349, post: 1318987, member: 5682&quot;]Most people interested in coins don&#039;t want to interact with others at Internet sites. Many people&#039;s interest in coins is limited to a single question or specific aspect. They are also unlikely to interact.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is why there will always be an important role for &quot;amateur summaries&quot; that are sometimes better written and more accessible than some &quot;scholarly studies.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Another example is the study of Ancient Roman history. Many people are inhibited to study Ancient history further because of the unnecessary hurtles: obscure historical references, untranslated Latin passages, poorly written works, unapproachable elitism, etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>Without new and enthusiastic students, the fields of Ancient numismatics and Ancient history will wither and die on the vines. Many of these &quot;amateur summaries&quot; are the best introductions to these fields of study, while also both teaching and inspiring more scholarly research.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p>guy[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
