<p>[QUOTE="7Calbrey, post: 2550717, member: 38412"]The existence of an elephant heading left on the reverse of a Seleucid coin did not surprise me. I was only fascinated by this huge animal raising something with its trunk. That seemed to me reminiscent of our modern circus today. Did such activities of fun and leisure with the use of wild animals exist in ancient times. So far we know the most clever use of elephants by ancient people was for the purpose of war battles. Glad to read your nice comments.[ATTACH=full]548042[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]548043[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
