<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bluegill, post: 263856, member: 1748&quot;]Oh, and another question pertaining to collecting ancients:</p><p><br /></p><p>In the past year I&#039;ve learned more about ancient Rome (and the ancient Middle East and Europe in general) than in any other time of my life, mainly because I&#039;ve been skimming through discussions of ancient coins, reading a few articles, and looking at information about emperors on Wikipedia and a few other sites. I&#039;m by no means well-educated about ancient Greece and Rome, but I&#039;m learning. Coins have been the main impetus behind this.</p><p><br /></p><p>For collectors of ancient coins, how did you get into this? Did you already have a pretty good background in history (or perhaps the Latin or Greek languages) when you got into numismatics, or did numismatics provoke you to delve into history, or did the two go hand in hand?</p><p><br /></p><p>I was only mildly interested before, but--like with everything--the more I learn, the more I want to learn. I&#039;m finding coins a great springboard for that.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
