After being intimidated by Ancients my whole life by the depth of knowledge required in this endeavor, I decided to dip my toe in the water and would like your help as I try to assemble a collection of ancients. My collecting philosophy, like that of many others, is to just collect what I like. What I like is limited by what I know, which isn't much. I just think about my history classes and lessons as I was growing up and seek out those people and places that I grew up learning about. I would appreciate any and all thoughts and advice as I assemble my collection. Started today with some popular basics.

Is that a man and a woman wrestling?

PAMPHYLIA. Aspendus. Ca. 380-325 BC. AR stater (22mm, 10h). NGC XF, countermark. Two wrestlers grappling; ΛM between / EΣTFEΔIIYΣ, slinger standing right, placing bullet in sling which he is drawing; triskeles counterclockwise in right. Tekin Series 4. SNG France 99-100.

Wow.. Most newbies to ancients start with well-worn LRB's. You're going whole hog into these Greek beauties.
