<p>[QUOTE=&quot;IdesOfMarch01, post: 2211961, member: 39084&quot;]De gustibus non est disputandum.</p><p><br /></p><p>There will always be differences of opinions on whether a collector of ancients should focus on some sort of theme, or instead collect across all ranges of ancient coins that have some semblance of interest or curiosity to the collector.&nbsp; I had collected for about a year before I realized that I was intensely interested in the 12 Caesars period for a very simple reason: It’s arguably the most dynamic, formative, and compelling historical period not only of the Roman Empire but of Euro-centric civilization as a whole.&nbsp; Much of its history is represented in its coins, and holding these coins in one’s hand fires the imagination and extends one’s appreciation and insight into an era and empire whose range and standards of living (as in the ancient city of Rome during the period of the 12 Caesars) would not be equaled for 1500 years.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you are interested in collecting the 12 Caesars, then by all means, focus your efforts on that period.&nbsp; If your interests change as you do this, then feel free to refocus your efforts.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
