<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Blake Davis, post: 8509994, member: 91820&quot;]Thank you for your post and your encouragement.&nbsp; I have always wondered at the differences between ancient Greek and what my father and his side of the family spoke - I had elsewhere read about &quot;classisizing&quot; (sp?) historians who wrote in the Greek of Thucydides so there was clearly a huge difference between the old Attic Greek of the fifth century and even the mid Byzantine era.&nbsp; Add in another 1400 years to what is spoken today so it is no surprise that your Greek was barely comprehensible!</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the brass I am pretty well stuck with my interest even as it gets to the point where it is getting more and more difficult to find affordable examples.&nbsp; I was very lucky to find this coin, which was indeed affordable and made for what I hope is an interesting <b>and accurate </b>post.&nbsp; It would be great if there was a way to make edits since I see some typos but unfortunately I know of no way to do that.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
