<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 1804721, member: 39&quot;]Admittedly I do not read every single CT post, and I do not collect ancient coins. But sometimes it is a certain theme, or an odd or funny topic title, that makes me curious, and I&#039;ll have a look at &quot;ancient&quot; topics. And in general I find it important and interesting to know what people used as money.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, the symbols used on ancient coins can be fascinating. Earlier this month I visited the Mint Museum in Madrid, and the guide explained, for example, how Aigina changed the (sea) turtle on its coins into a (land) tortoise when it ceased to be a sea power. You collectors of ancients will of course know about this <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> but it was something I would not have noticed ...</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
