[QUOTE="Alegandron, post: 3404312, member: 51347"]:D If we cannot truly enjoy our hobby, especially with some fun humor, why have the hobby? It is fun to toss out a few jibes, just to get some of the ultra-serious to move on their roosts. :) Joking aside, yeah, I admit my sins... I DO have around 145+ of the Roman Rulers. It is not a focus for me, and many taint too purdy... but I have the placemarkers. Kenneth Harl's [I]Coinage in the Roman Economy [/I]kinda points out how the Empire decline is reflected in the devaluations of coinage... The Denarius was a monetary stronghold from approx 300 BCE (don't forget the Heavy Denarius - tariffed at 10 Asses - from 310 BCE to 211 BCE) to approx 200 CE - FIVE [I]HUNDRED[/I] years... purdy cool track record! Then, crap hit the fan, coinage really devaluated, double Denarii or 'Antoniniani' were created, etc. etc. Finally fizzing-out to gawd-awful 10mm rabbit pellets with cartoons on them. :) - AND, they had to sell them as hundreds-in-a-bag - hence, Folles... Reminds me of Ziegfield's Follies. :) [ATTACH=full]904033[/ATTACH] RI Leo I 457-474 CE AE 4 10mm Salus Emp stdg hldg Globe and Standard Compared to: [ATTACH=full]904034[/ATTACH] RR Anon AR Heavy Denarius - Didrachm 310-300 BCE Mars-Horse, FIRST AR coin of Rome...[/QUOTE]
