<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Magnus Maximus, post: 2489238, member: 73473&quot;][USER=75936]@Greg Heinrich[/USER]&nbsp; Art and pretty images take a backseat when you are trying to survive. At the time this coin was struck the Roman army hadn&#039;t won a major battle in over twenty years and it wasn&#039;t out of the question that the Arabs would take Constantinople. Constans and the emperors that followed were trying to get&nbsp; as much money to the already underpaid troops as possible. I can&#039;t fault them for the poor quality in their coins. But you are totally right, some of their coins are just damn ugly!!<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
