<p>[QUOTE=&quot;wittwolf, post: 8239292, member: 116854&quot;]How do you know the person lived a miserable live? Did this ancient roman know of the prosperity mankind would reach after the industrial revolution? Maybe he lived a happy and humble live and was wealthy enought to wear a coin as jewelry instead of spending it.</p><p>But what I have heard there are some more reasons for ancient people to put a hole in a coin. It seems especially sailors put together necklaces of their coinage so they wouldnt loose their coins on sea. Legionaries also mounted coins on their armor for different reasons - I would guess some hoped blessing of the god depicted on the coin he mounted on his armor. Also you could show your alligiance to the depicted emperor.</p><p>Anyway here my only holed ancient coin:</p><p><i><b>Emperor Justinian I. - Follis - Constantinople mint</b></i></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1450014[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
