<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Eduard, post: 844281, member: 8959&quot;]The history aspect, (and a metal detecting find), is what got me into collecting ancients around 1990. I had always admired and had been interested by Roman civilization, specially as it affected the area of germany I live in.&nbsp; One day, whilst out walking with my wife in a field, I found a roman sestertius of Marcus Aurelius, together with a large corroded nail. This find brought made face to face with the distant past, not as something abstract, but as something real. That old nail could have been dropped by a roman merchant, tradesman, or maybe even a legionary, 2000 years before, along that same path we were walking on.</p><p>From that day on my interest was piqued.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I could therefore suggest that a good starting would be to focus on a period of history you are particularly interested in, or, a civilization or culture which captivates you the most. That provides a great combination for building a satisfyting and rewarding coin collection.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
