I've been an amateur Roman history hound for many years, having read dozens of books. For the past four years I've taken up the hobby of painting historical miniatures--that is, metal toy soldiers. Today's unpainted toy soldiers are sold in kits, and need to be assembled, primed and painted. Upon searching for kits on eBay, I discovered the equally enthralling world of ancient coins, and was hooked as a cleaner and collector.
