They're all very appealing, even though I'm not a Byzantine coin collector and all I really know about them is what I've read here on CT. My...
That would be wonderful, if true! I agree that they're not likely to have been buried, but I'm sure that many were melted down.
In fact, I'm kind of happy that the coin turns out to have been issued around 78 BCE: it puts it right in with my top 10 Republican coins, out of...
My apologies. It just seemed unlikely that you would find a genuine ring like that at a flea market or yard sale! Especially given how many fake...
