<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1992929, member: 26302&quot;]You are right, of course its upside down. I should have mentioned it. </p><p><br /></p><p>There are a lot of interrelationships between the Dvaravati and Pyu, and in many cases we are not exactly sure which towns were in which confederacy. The Dvaravati were in modern day northern Thailand. In fact, a friend lives in Lumphun, on the outskirts of Chiang Mai. Lumphun was one of the last Dvaravati cities captured by the Lanna in northern Thailand. So, you have Pyu in the central plains of Burma, Dvaravati in northern Thailand and southern Burma, and the cutoff between which cities where which is unknown. Both cultures were influenced mainly by India and the Funan culture, and copied their coins both from Funan and each other. </p><p><br /></p><p>What it boils down to is it depends from which perspective the author is looking to which civilization he attributes these two. &quot;Siamese Coins&quot; attributes these to Dvaravati, but a Burmese book will attribute these to Pyu. THe truth is probably somewhere in between. THere probably are specific ones to each culture, its just we don&#039;t have a great grasp on the differences yet.</p><p><br /></p><p>No Anoob, you are not alone pursuing esoteric little coins. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Look at my avatar coin from Lanna Kingdom.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
