<p>[QUOTE="GregH, post: 2525155, member: 75936"]You know, some people just like to read.

I'm reasonably well-read on the history (which is why a series of emperor portraits appeals to me), but not so much the numismatics. So I sit and listen. Let's not worry too much about how many responses one gets. </p><p><br /></p><p>The OP post was relevant to me. I was thinking the other day - do i really want to continue my Byzantine one-per-ruler collection, when I haven't finished my one-per Roman and one-per English collections? A lot of the Byzantine coins are mediocre with degenerate style, but some are fantastic. Do I really want tray after tray of mediocre stuff that I don't really love? What sort of collection could I instead make with Byzantines?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
