<p>[QUOTE="chrsmat71, post: 2612242, member: 42634"]In 2011 I got to check out a cool exhibit of Roman funerary art at the Indianapolis Museum of Art, thought it was awesome and started reading some historical fiction about ancient Rome. My dad collected US coins a bit, and I think I was browsing ebay for him when I happened upon some Roman coins about the same time period. I freaked out and bought two I thought looked cool for about 10 bucks each or so. Dad still has his somewhere, he wasn't very impressed by it. I think it was a Constantinian campgate, here's the one I kept for myself.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://s1241.photobucket.com/user/chrsmat71/media/roman%20coins/102_6441_zpshp9rvipz.jpg.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://s1241.photobucket.com/user/chrsmat71/media/roman%20coins/102_6441_zpshp9rvipz.jpg.html" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://i1241.photobucket.com/albums/gg513/chrsmat71/roman%20coins/102_6441_zpshp9rvipz.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p><p><br /></p><p>I was impressed! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie101" alt=":woot:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
