<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ancient coin hunter, post: 8072133, member: 87200&quot;]I read the Robert Graves&#039; book <i><b>Count Belisarius</b></i>, it tells the story of the wars in Italy and Africa and eventually, the base ingratitude of Justinian towards his most prominent general. At the end of his life Belisarius purportedly was a poorly clad, nearly blind and broken old man who could only beg for alms in the streets of Constantinople. That is probably not likely, but if Hollywood ever optioned the book for a movie they would keep it in the script.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Nice write-up and coin![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
