Ancients are an area that I know very, very little about, but I always enjoy reading your posts and seeing the coins in your collection. Your passion is very evident.
Also appreciate the little nuggets of info/knowledge that I often pick up from your posts.
Cool coins!
Thanks!

Great video! Loved the historical context and commentary, particularly the discussion of 'pecunia non olet'.
Fantastic set with tons of history.
69AD was a tough year to be emperor!
Really liked the video. Good work Rob (and sister).

Great video of your wonderful collection!
Its good that you posted this video offering a second time for those that missed it the first time.
As a history buff, I appreciated it more the second time I viewed it.

I still cringe a bit at some of the errors I made in the video. I was speaking without notes and goofed in a few places.
