[QUOTE="ambr0zie, post: 8211722, member: 80952"]When I decided to collect ancient coins, my first acquisition was a lot of 34 coins. Described as "Roman bronze" but there were a few silver coins and a Greek from Campania, Suessa Aurunca :) Being an absolute beginner, I identified the coins one by one and had lots of fun. I added the coins in my album in the order I took them from the envelope. And I kept this habit since - I add the coins exactly in the order I bought them from. This was the first and it's position 1 in my album [ATTACH=full]1440859[/ATTACH] Constantine I AE Follis. Arles. 315-316 AD. IMP CONSTANTINVS PF AVG, laureate, draped and cuirassed bust right. / SOLI INV-I-CTO COMITI, Sol standing left, chlamys across left shoulder, holding globe and raising right hand. S-F across fields. Mintmark SARL. RIC VII Arles 56 Here is the first coin I bought in the last auction [ATTACH=full]1440861[/ATTACH] Caria. Uncertain mint circa 500-400 BC. Tetartemorion AR 7 mm, 0,19 g Confronted bull heads / Forepart of bull right, within incuse square. SNG Kayhan 969[/QUOTE]
