<p>[QUOTE=&quot;David Atherton, post: 3323671, member: 82616&quot;]The primary goal for my Flavian collection is to systematically collect silver and representatively collect bronze.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>No. Last year I acquired the largest safe deposit box my bank offers.

A small percentage from private deals with other collectors.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Everyday.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Not as often as I should. I am sure there are some lost pedigrees residing in my collection.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I have well over 1000 books on ancient Rome (a good portion centred on Flavian Rome), a large number of auction catalogues, and all the major Flavian numismatic references. Plus, hundreds of academic papers and journals concerned with different aspects of Flavian Rome.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>That approach goes against every fibre of my being! Quite horrifying actually. lol[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
