<p>[QUOTE="kevin McGonigal, post: 7940133, member: 72790"]JJ. I collect items from all periods of history but enjoy ancient history the most. I collect artifacts and coins and have been doing since I was 13 years old and that was when Ike was in the White House. I was blessed in my youth with a Classical curriculum education and still study Latin almost every day. When I handle a Roman belt buckle or well circulated sestertius I wonder the same things you do. These objects are the tangible nexus between them and us. I honor and treat them like relics. I wish you as much joy as I have gotten from this hobby. PS. Get the wife a piece of ancient jewelry. You can get a nice bronze ring, Roman or Medieval, for about $35-$50 on the net. Try Vcoins.com. Several reputable dealers sell them along with coins. Once she sees that there is something in this hobby for her she may view your interests more favorably. But do NOT tell her you got the idea from someone else. I'll look forward to more of your acquisitions.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
