<p>[QUOTE="Gavin Richardson, post: 2620753, member: 83956"]For me, it's a Vespasian Judaea Capta, regardless of variety--a coin that is currently at the top of my wish list. Perhaps it's a bit silly to claim that one coin is more "historical" than another; each coin is struck in its historical moment. But to me there is the world before the Sack of Jerusalem and the world after it. This coin marks the beginning of the Jewish Diaspora, which touches everything, even to our present day. FWIW, I'm not Jewish. I suspect if one were, that denarius would be especially resonant.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
