Below is a website courtesy of the E-Sylum featuring the coins at the time of Jesus. Interesting and informative. a2J jess http://www.numismalink.com/fontanille1.html
cool site. I just "discovered" ancients. I'm surprised how affordable some of the coins are. Can anyone recomend a small collection one could make with these coins. The cesars of Rome is an obvious one. Can you think of one that would be, say ten coins, that demenstrate a certain historical period? I'm thinking maybe coinsfrom ancient Israel. (Collection should be under $500 to put together)
