Is he wrong that PM has negative current income, and has barely kept up with inflation the last couple of years? Talking badly about someone in...
Yeah, a cogent, rational, and articulate article from a man with an engineering degree and a degree in business should be quickly dismissed if one...
I would agree. How I know offhand is the face is not right, and the owl is in the wrong position. This was the most famous coin in antiquity....
We simply did not need the coinage. Coming off of WWI there was no need for small change then. It is similar to what happened in the early 30's as...
I am just happy to see some excitement in ancients around here. We were beginning to think we were a bunch of weird old guys.

Yup, kinda plays into the other thread why ancients and world are lumped togeether. We just need to convince Bing to broaden his horizons a...
You didn't. Doug likes to give "complete" answers, lol. Btw, you can call me Chris. :) It appears we will be talking a lot to each other.
The later emperors only issued silver, no copper or gold. As to beginning of "Byzantine", most of us date it to the bronze coinage reform of...
NO need to be sorry at all. Pragmatically it was done because we had so few of each, there was no need to have separate ones. Maybe oneday that...
So, OP, what is the split between the two? End of Rome? End or Sassanids? End of Byzantines? That is the problem right? I find it all a...
