<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ancientnoob, post: 2198965, member: 44140&quot;]In my own personal journey in numismatics I have decided to concentrate on a One of Each collection, but I am not sure what that means. I think what I really want is one or a few representative types of each culture. This seems impossible, there are so many coins, and so many cultures who underwent huge paradigm shifts in their existence, compare the Romans who built the empire compared to the once who would one day fail to maintain it. They are the same but yet they are different times, with different goals and different people who at one time would not have been Romans.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you were to assemble a single coin representing each of the Roman periods which ones would you choose? Would&nbsp; you divide the empire into a dynasty and select one coin of each dynasty? Would you select only one RR denari, one 3rd century Ant and one LRB? Would you try to get the most notable figures? Maybe one of each of the denominations? Could you shrink your collection down to a few types?</p><p><br /></p><p>What about Greeks? One of each Kingdom? Each time period? Each dynasty? Would divide Greeks by Geographical region, would Indian coins with Greek be considered Greek? I think it is easier to get a Greek collection down to a few types, Athens tet, Alex 3 tet, and a couple curiosities?</p><p><br /></p><p>Celts? Geography? Tribe? Issuing authority or time period?</p><p><br /></p><p>I am taking suggestions.</p><p><br /></p><p>Maybe I just need one Trajan, a fairly decent coin from the height of the Roman Empire.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]428178[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>or Maybe an Elagbulas?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]428179[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
