<p>[QUOTE=&quot;romismatist, post: 8118403, member: 44106&quot;]My numismatic resolutions are to continue adding coins to my core areas of collecting (Messapian mints in ancient Calabria, and coins from East Friesland) but like [USER=21445]@Mat[/USER], to also to acquire any historical or somewhat scarce Roman or Greek coin that catches my eye. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have a core Roman collection, primarily denarii and antoninianii, that I started when I was 12, and every once in a while I add an emperor or two to build that collection. This year, I added a Clodius Albinus, a couple of Postumus coins (after I found out the one I bought back in the 1980s was actually an Aureolus), and a couple of Trajan Decius &quot;Dacia&quot; antoninianii. On the Greek side, I finally caved and bought an Athenian Tetradrachm, as every coin is really is a fascinating piece of history. My imagination was also captured by the rumors that the recent large hoard still being dispersed was found near Konya, Turkey and may have been as a result of the &quot;Ten Thousand&quot; expedition.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
