But in the mixed lot there was a Suessa Aurunca bronze so I started studying Greek coinage also.

[USER=118540]@sand[/USER], in my opinion, collecting RR and Imperial are two different stories and even if a collector of RIC knows some RR and vice versa, I guess they should be treated as separate categories. </p><p><br /></p><p>I am not attracted to other domains in numismatics, not even Byzantine, not my cup of tea.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
