You deserve all that is good in this life Leo Thank you for bringing interesting content to the brainrot cesspool that youtube has become
Comment from : @isabelcrb

Totally agree with your analysis on the evolution everyone goes through collecting ancients I like many started by wanting to have one of every emperor After around a year and a half my goals have become much more elaborate, I want coins that have something special or unique about them, it's not just about checking off a list

I enjoy all your videos Regards ❤❤❤
Comment from : @mohsenzarei4776

Leo, I have mentioned this once before but perhaps you might get time to do a video on the direction of legends in 2025 So, vertical up and down, clockwise, anticlockwise, inside out and outside in and over which periods each was popular I have never seen it discussed in the way you do Happy new year and keep up your unique work please

Comment from : @maxiewawa

Any good recommendations for an overall catalog of Roman imperial coinage?
Comment from : @Akiriui

I started collecting and got a bunch of good stuff this year My favorites are a Lysimachus tet with the horned Alexander portrait, a JCaesar Venus denarius, and a mark antony Legionary denarius with Caesars X legion brbrI got 4 of the 5 good emperors in sestertius too, finding a decent Nerva at a reasonable price has been challenging Overall very happy with how my collection is going
Comment from : @Diogenes_43

I have some videos of my coins on my page Ive been on a budget since starting my collection a couple years ago I still like to think I have an attractive collection
Comment from : @DsCoinsNCollectibles

Another great list! That solidus of Valentinian is superb This year I started taking a stab at the 12 Caesars (allowing for a mix of bronze, silver and provincial coins to keep costs low) and I've been focusing on fewer, higher quality pieces that I could reasonably afford (within the $100-$250 range) My top coins list would start off with an honorable mention of half of a dupondius featuring a posthumous portrait of Julius Caesar before making it to:brbr5 A double maiorina from Julian (The Apostate) struck in Antioch featuring the famous bull reverse, a piece I've always wanted in my collection and was the first one I collected this year It unfortunately suffered from minor bronze disease on the rim but I was fortunately able to get this treated so that was a good learning experience I love its historical significance as representing a sort of last hurrah for the traditional Roman ways and it was even singled out for mockery by the emperor's Christian critics (who very well could've held the specific coin I now own as they were dismissing it) It's very much the standout of my Late Roman bronze coinsbrbr4 A diassarion from Caligula struck in the provincial city of Komana in Pontus, to have any coin from this emperor in reasonable condition is incredible but I especially love the reverse for the beautiful depiction of an unknown god that has attributes of Apollo and Heraklesbrbr3 An as from Claudius struck in Rome which I think is such an exquisite piece aesthetically I have quite the soft spot for this emperor after watching "I, Claudius" and I thought this was a nice piece worthy of being represented in my 12 Caesars setbrbr2 A denarius from Augustus struck in Lugdunum that is one of the common Lucius and Gaius issues but it's still very historically significant and lovely to look at even if a bit chippedbrbr1 An antoninianus of Philip The Arab struck in Rome in absolutely pristine condition, everything fits perfectly inside the flan and was minted to celebrate the 1000th anniversary of Rome (the reverse shows a cippus with the inscriptions COS III) so it's both beautiful and historically significant Holding it in my hand feels like I'm looking at the last gasp of Rome's glory days before the very worst of the Third Century Crisis would snuff it all out Its EF condition seems to reflect the turbulent economic times it was made in since it was hoarded away almost immediately for its silver content and it stands out all the more in quality next to the pitiful scraps Philip's successors would cough up in the years to come

Lovely coins thanks for showingHappy New year Leo 😊
Comment from : @GordonGrant-o1h

Great additions to your collection Leo! 2024 has been an amazing year for me personally, with the birth of my second daughter as the cherry on top 😀 This year i've focussed my collection on Late western Roman and post-Roman coins Despite their generally crude and unappealing designs, these coins are suprisingly hard to get, but that makes the 'hunt' for them more exciting 🙂 Also, the history and stories behind these rulers from the Dark Ages is fascinatingbrIn no particular order: AE4 of Leo I struck under Ricimer in Rome (RIC X 2528), AE4 of Galla Placidia (RIC X 2111), siliqua of Constantine III (RIC X 1526), tremissis of Aelia Eudocia (RIC X 335), 40 nummi coin of Ostrogoths (BMC 103), nummus of Childebert I (MEC 391), 1/4 siliqua of Theodahad (BMC 52), 1/4 siliqua of Athalaric (MIB 54), 21 nummi coin of Vandals (BMC 14) and a 50 denarii coin of Thrasamund (BMC 11)brHappy collecting and a prosperous 2025 everyone!

Comment from : @YoutubeFEEN

1:25 This is basically my goal too I got 4 more to go: Balbinus Pupienus, Pertinax, and Didius Julianus Unfortunately, they're extremely hard to find
Comment from : @compatriot852

I have been studying a bit of Byzantine history, trying to discern when the Roman empire ended and the Byzantine empire began, only to discover that there is no sharp break between the two, or even that the one fell and the other rose The "Byzantine" period overlaps w/ the late Roman period, and the "Byzantines" continued calling themselves Romans after the fall of the West, so what we know as "Byzantium", is the Roman empire, centered around "Nova Roma", Constantinople In light of that, I've modified collecting "Byzantine" coins to be no different than collecting Roman coins, at least beginning w/ Late Imperial issues post-Constantine I

I like the Solidus coins I used to have a Phocas (Focas) Solidus but unfortunately I sold it at auction I have regretted selling it ever since, even despite making a little profit I really wish I kept mine Great coins shown
