<p>[QUOTE=&quot;maridvnvm, post: 1274470, member: 31620&quot;]I had started collecting Roman coins with a MARS VLTOR denarius of Severus Alexander. My second ancient was a MARS VICTOR of Probus from Lugdunum, which was inexpensive and started me looking at the wider coinage of Probus. I considered a collection of Mars types and before long I had bought a Mars coin of Probus from the Rome mint, Siscia and Ticinum as well as a spattering of LRB. I started communication with some Probus specialists and before long I had started a Probus sub-collection with a much wider focus than the Mars types but I began to focus on Lugdunum.</p><p>I also stumbled across the Eastern denarii of Septimius Severus at this point and so began yet another collecting theme/obsession.</p><p>My collecting has been a bit eclectic in style with various sub-themes over the years.</p><p><br /></p><p>You can look at my Lugdunum mint Probus coins here as a taster if you so desire...</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=138" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=138" rel="nofollow">http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=138</a></p><p><a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=138" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=138" rel="nofollow"><br /></a></p><p>Obsessive?
