<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kevin McGonigal, post: 4500273, member: 72790&quot;]I was blessed, absolutely blessed, in my youth with a classical education which fascinated, intrigued me, and it ignited a passion from which I never recovered. Numismatics has made it possible for me to delve deeply into the economics of empire and emporium and there have been few pleasures in this life that have matched those (next to my family). Having said that, I am delighted, absolutely delighted to read anything and everything I can where ancient (including Byzantine) history and ancient coins come together. The field is so vast that anyone trying to write about even a portion of that period and its monetary systems, taxation, banking, coinage, is bound to make some errors and frankly, I don&#039;t care that much if they do. Every field of knowledge commits errors when put into print or practice and few of the errors in this field match the potential for the real damage other branches of knowledge can inflict on us. So, I say to anyone making a study of ancient numismatics, thanks for making our lives more enjoyable by studying and reporting to us what you uncover in those studies. May Clio and Juno Moneta smile upon your endeavors.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
