<p>[QUOTE=&quot;EWC3, post: 3845175, member: 93416&quot;]On a general note, back when we were writing “Jitals” (meaning of the term defined at the beginning of our account) I intended it as a platform for the independent investigation of the cultural politics of monetary policy in Medieval Afghanistan and N. West India.</p><p><br /></p><p>Broadly, the collapse of the canonical Islamic/Persian monetary model over 800 – 1000 AD left the Ghaznavids more and more integrating with developing fiat Hindu policies. Thus the monetary events encompassed by the jitals, especially in Afghanistan, served as a kind of distant mirror for the demise of the European penny over the same sort of period.</p><p><br /></p><p>30 years on and I sadly feel the numismatic world kind of passed me by - going in the opposite direction.</p><p><br /></p><p>Independent numismatics as a whole was and is retreating altogether from tackling the difficult and important problems.</p><p><br /></p><p>Rob T[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
