<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 2507536, member: 26302&quot;]I have always contended something around the 6th-7th century happened around the world to change things forever, and that is my cutoff of what is &quot;ancient&quot;. In the West, it was the fall of western Rome. In the Mideast it was the rise of Islam. In China it was the rise of the Tang dynasty. All of these things swept away the past and set the stage for the modern world, so its my rough cutoff.</p><p><br /></p><p>I still collect things past this arbitrary &quot;ancient&quot; cutoff. Byzantine coins are a good example. However, I simply recognize them as being more medieval in nature, not ancient.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
