As I said to a few sellers at the coin show, ancient coins may be the dark side, but I think we medievalists are the bastard children. There are...
No problem - Ancient and Medieval History. I was doing World Civ. When I was teaching college courses, but managed to snag this position at a...
At @Alegandron 's insistence, here's a couple of coins I got at the recent NCNA show down in Charlotte. I was attempting to keep my focus to just...

He has a link somewhere (I think in his signature). I think I clicked on it a day or so ago...
Man, loads of medieval examples I have on my list to purchase, but no actual pairings in my possession yet... Interesting thread!
I think I am far too early in my collecting (particularly with the different rabbit holes my collection has gone down) to speak of holes yet. I...
