[QUOTE="Alegandron, post: 4709488, member: 51347"]Thank you. I collect Historically, and not "numismatically". And, yes, I really like simplicity. It is from my manufacturing background, where we focused on Fit-Form-Function in developing product. Simplicity was always key. The Carthage Empire was the nemesis of Rome for many years. They fought 3 major wars, (Punic Wars), during the period of 264 BCE to 146 BCE. Hated each other. At one point, Rome almost went extinct due to Hannibal destroying Rome's Armies in 3 major battles (Trebia, Trasimene, and Cannae). Rome and Allies lost upwards of 175,000 soldiers, dead on the field within an 18 month period when Hannibal was ravaging Roman Legions. The City of Rome's population was roughly 400,000 at that time.
