I don't think going from India to Syria meets the rules?

 

Old Muzcyk knows what he is doing. At its height, the Sasanian empire stretched to the Med. Credit image wikipedia.

 

Okay. I was just referring to the rules where it states Country. An Empire most often encompasses more than one Country. Just think of the British Empire. The British Empire comprised the dominions, colonies, protectorates, mandates, and other territories ruled or administered by the United Kingdom and its predecessor states. It originated with the overseas possessions and trading posts established by England between the late 16th and early 18th centuries. At its height, it was the largest empire in history and, for over a century, was the foremost global power. By 1913, the British Empire held sway over 412 million people, 23% of the world population at the time, and by 1920, it covered 35,500,000 km², 24% of the Earth's total land area. If we list by Empire, many countries would be null and void.

 

"The sun never sets on the British Empire." Now a daze, I think it is a bit smaller and probably does enjoy sunsets and sundowner time as well.

 

In the context of the thread your example does not make sense. In most instances local coinage was created for circulation with local currency and language, not coinage struck for circulation at home. I think as the thread has evolved we have dug a little bit deeper through numismatic history and in many cases "countries" did not exist. I like the way we have kept the thread interesting by stretching the boundaries a bit.
