<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RaceBannon, post: 1650504, member: 25357&quot;]So, I&#039;ve officially been bit by the ancient bug.&nbsp; Especially where LRBs and Roman Imperials are concerned.&nbsp; I looked around on eBay, but decided it was probably better to meet with a local dealer who specializes in ancients so I could view the coins in hand.&nbsp; There&#039;s a local ancient dealer around my area who&#039;s being mentored by Guy Clark, whom I believe is a fairly well known ancient expert.&nbsp; He maintains a website <a href="http://ancient-art.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://ancient-art.com/" rel="nofollow">http://ancient-art.com/</a>.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Anyhow, I agreed to sit down with this dealer and let him show me a variety of Roman coinage from RR to Imperial to Provincial.&nbsp; He had some really nice coins.&nbsp; Many were out of my price-range.&nbsp; I fell in love with a particularly gorgeous silver Augustus.&nbsp; But decided to settle for now on some&nbsp; more reasonably priced LRBs to help develop my eye and get a feel for what I might like.&nbsp; I&#039;m finding I really enjoy the coins with a desert or green patina.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m still working on verifying the attribution, but figured I&#039;d post some photos to share for now.&nbsp; So here are some of my&nbsp; recent pickups.</p><p><br /></p><p>Probus; AD 276-282</p><p><br /></p><p>Maximianus; AD 286-305[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
