[QUOTE="JayAg47, post: 8184689, member: 112342"]The closest cities from where I live that produced coins in my ancient collection come from the South Indian state of Tamil Nadu, [ATTACH=full]1431533[/ATTACH] 1.

[ATTACH=full]1431538[/ATTACH] Out of all these places, I've actually been to Madurai along with Singapore and Malaysia (once part of the Sri Vijayan kingdom) with my family back when I finished high school! long before I started collecting coins, let alone ancients. I'd love to visit Rome, Pompeii, Acropolis of Athens, probably Constantinople, but I'm not sure about Egypt due to safety concerns. But visiting Europe is multiple times as expensive as visiting SEA or India, However the next city on my bucket list is definitely Thanjavur and many other Tamil cities to truly appreciated the legacy of Cholas, Pandyas and other kings. The thing with these cities are that they're continuously inhabited since antiquity with their native culture intact, and their buildings still actively used for their intended purpose. Then it's Angkor Wat (Cambodia), again to experience the influence of Cholas in SEA. Only after that I can look into Europe![/QUOTE]
