<p>[QUOTE=&quot;britannia40, post: 3172067, member: 74818&quot;]Since I started Ancients as a new level of collecting I figured I would try some different things. After watching and reading many posts and seeing many pictures I notice many of the older roman coins tend to be pretty beat up from my modern coin point of view. I do understand most were buries millenniums and were subjects to many harsh realities.</p><p><br /></p><p>With that said I know my preferences I have decided for the most part to start with Late Roman coins as their tend to be a lot more higher grade pieces available at a lower price (for me) That doesn’t mean I don’t accept exceptions and of course this could change in time from experience and any whims. Then I also decided on a Women of Ancient world set which will consist of Rome and other odds and ends I find appealing.</p><p>I recall some feedbacks on a prior post stating that Ancient coins and Romans have 10s of thousands of types that can grow on you. So I believe I will also grab up anything I find appealing when the time and price is right.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]815504[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]815505[/ATTACH]</p><p>I had to travel Asia some this month and bought some pieces before I left and can’t wait to get home to see them in their glory.</p><p><br /></p><p>I bought this higher grade group from an auction and this it will make a nice collection with my group and I will have to attribute them once I get back.</p><p>Second and third I got 2 additions to additions for the Women of the Ancient World set.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]815503[/ATTACH]</p><p>Salonina, 254 - 268 AD, Antoninianus of Antioch, Aequitas,&nbsp; Salonina, 254 - 268 AD</p><p>AE Antoninianus, Antioch Mint, 22mm, 3.18 grams</p><p>Obverse: SALONINA AVG, Diademed and draped bust of Salonina right on crescent.</p><p>Reverse: AEQVITAS AVG, Aequitas standing left holding scales and cornucopia, VICC.
