[QUOTE="OutsiderSubtype, post: 6444517, member: 112457"]The lines between ancient and medieval coins are super blurry in many areas. And those blurry lines often make for really interesting coins. Consider the Ostrogothic coins that look just like late Roman ones and even say ROMA INVICTA which is hilarious irony. Or there are the very cool Tabaristan coins, struck under the Ummayids and Abbasids, that still look just like Sasanian ones. Except where the portrait's head would be, there is a diamond and calligraphy to comply with Islamic sensibilities.[/QUOTE]
