<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3132604, member: 19463"]Over the years I have felt guilty about not studying more about non-classical lands and persons of antiquity that did not issue coins. I regret the fantasy histories that got attached to some coins (the Helios of Rhodes was a portrait of Christ with crown of thorns and all Parthians and other Eastern rulers were Wise Men) but it is a lot easier to drum up interest to learn about Maues or Azes (however many of them there were) than a thousand other tribal leaders who left me no coins. Call me shallow. You simply can not learn everything about everything and I collect coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
