<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3130989, member: 19463"]IMHO this is the #1 most important thing to learn. Even within 'ancients' it is rarely safe to assume that you know something about X because you are an expert in Y. The first and last coins I might accept as 'ancient' cover 2000 years and half the earth surface. In many cases the people who made those coins had no idea they were expected to be doing things the 'ancient' way. They thought they were high tech and quite current. I have trouble knowing how ancients differ from moderns but I suppose that is because I know so little about moderns.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
