They were Phoenicians. That pretty much explains Carthage, (assuming you know about ancient Phoenicians that is. :))
I always wondered about that, the "72 virgins" to Islamists if they sacrifice themselves. Anyone ever wonder if they were just 72 ugly dudes just...
I have to admit Davey I think you are giving a little too much credit to the UK. The UK is now where near the economy of Germany. It is on their...
Interesting coin. I have never seen a billon Punic coin before.
I agree, BUT I have seen many times people trying to "creep up" bids. If you place your bid early they have a chance to do this. I prefer to not...
There is no manner of court rulings, SEC rulings, or anything that will ever convince those who wish to believe their precious silver is not being...
Mine also happened to be Trajan. That pic was to show the high relief on the sestertius, a very large brass coin. You can see how much higher the...
