Most active Ancient forums on Net?

In the past couple of months I've been getting suckered into collecting various ancients. Which Internet resources (like the PCGS U.S. Coin Forum is for U.S. coin collectors) is the most active and helpful for the ancient collector?

I have a bunch of ancient Jewish coins that I'll be donating along with display and presentation material (don't even ask how long this effort will take...I have no idea...I just started) to a local synagogue. But, I have several other pieces for myself including some other Roman coins and a Greek diobol. I'm still much more the U.S. coin collector (mainly odd type stuff, 2-cent/3-cent/20-cent pieces and 19th century proof), but I now found a new interest. The history behind these little ancient artifacts is extraordinary and I love to see people's eyes light up when they hold them (in a holder of course) in their hand and hear what was going on at the time.

I love it! I'm doomed!!!

    I am in the same boat as you - recently hooked on ancients. For the time being I have suspended my US coin interests (also minor type coins).

    I would be interested in other ancient forums also. Here is one that gets some good traffic:

    Great resource - I like reading about pretty much anything, light or darkside.

    I really like their online auction section - would make our BST a bit more interesting image
