<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gam3rBlake, post: 8338186, member: 115909&quot;]Thanks Meat man!</p><p><br /></p><p>It’s crazy that they were able to mint such beautiful coins back in the mid 6th century BC <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie12" alt="o_O" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.</p><p><br /></p><p>Especially compared to the slightly older electrum coins like the one I posted below it. They went from vague blobs and simple shapes to pretty detailed engravings of animals pretty fast!</p><p><br /></p><p>This is a full century before the famous silver Owl tetradrachms of Athens!</p><p><br /></p><p>To me it’s just amazing because its about as far back as Greek history goes before you get into the void of the Greek Dark Ages that followed the Bronze Age Collapse of the Mycenaean Greeks.</p><p><br /></p><p>I mean even if you compare it to Rome it’s crazy to think that this was Rome’s “legendary kings” period that we have practically no knowledge about. Idk it just blows my mind.</p><p><br /></p><p>All of this is why I had to have an example of a Croesid xD.</p><p><br /></p><p>Essentially this is the dawn of Classical Greece and all the wonders that came from it. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
