[QUOTE="Roman Collector, post: 5151991, member: 75937"]I know how you feel, [USER=109923]@John Conduitt[/USER]. When I first took up the hobby back in the '80s, I hardly knew any of the figures on Roman coins, but thanks to ancient numismatics, I know about several dozen of them in depth and have a passing familiarity with a couple hundred more!
