[QUOTE="Co1ns, post: 2752668, member: 87765"]Fair point. So much of history is conjecture, fascinating and simultaneously infuriating! I hadn't read Jakobsson's article, but there was a big chunk on Zoilos II's wikibio that discussed the Zoilos III theory. It also mentioned another reason for the hypotheses; that in the gaunt cheeks version, his hair appears to be balding, though this could just as easily be some outlandish haircut the King had decided to rock at the time. Sorry, it's an Ebay/Paypal voucher: buy through ebay/pay through paypal. I usually avoid auctions as I find them really tough, even with sniping software, there is nothing worse than being outbid for something rare that you love at the last millisecond! I will definitely compare the prices of whatever I get on ebay to prices at VCoins to make sure I'm not paying too much though. I'm leaning towards ancient Greek coins atm, they just seem that little bit more interesting than the Roman ones. Having said that, haven't seen anywhere near enough Romans to pass a final judgment and some of the provincials look pretty interesting. Are medieval coins comparably rarer than ancient ones? I not Fvrum's ebay store only has a very limited stock in the medieval Europe category and mostly from Sicily / Naples.[/QUOTE]
