<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lrbguy, post: 3611534, member: 88829&quot;]How I started and why I stay are questions that will get two very different answers from me.&nbsp; As for others it did begin with touching the ancient.&nbsp; But over the years I have come to collect many kinds of ancient artifacts and work with ancient texts. Touching antiquity is commonplace in my life now, and I do not fantasize about it.&nbsp; So a shift has taken place.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>These days this sums it up for me too.&nbsp; In particular I like to pursue the mass of detail in ancient coin imagery to uncover the ways the celators used it to encode some pretty mundane things, like where and when the coin was made.&nbsp; How did they evolve the system that they created for encoding mint location, series, workshops, or ultimately who did the work?&nbsp; I use this approach for my pursuit of Roman Imperial coinage only, and not even all of that.&nbsp; But there is never a dull moment, and never enough.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
