<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gao, post: 1274210, member: 19409&quot;]Yeah, I wouldn&#039;t worry too much about finding a specialty early on.&nbsp; Most people don&#039;t really find a particular area that really interests them until they&#039;ve been collecting and/or studying a bit.&nbsp; I started going for the usual one coin from each emperor set*, and as I got more, I found myself particularly drawn to the coins of Vespasian, Gordian III, and Diocletian&#039;s tetrarchy.</p><p><br /></p><p>*If you really feel like you need some framework for collecting ancients, this is actually a pretty good one to start with, at least for the Roman Imperial period.&nbsp; You&#039;ll get yourself exposed to range of styles, imagery, fabrics, and denominations (particularly if you set a secondary goal of getting one coin in each denomination like I initially did).&nbsp; Of course, the downside is that if you decide really want to complete it, there are several emperors, like the first two Gordians, that are really, really expensive.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
