<p>[QUOTE=&quot;noname, post: 2434752, member: 77783&quot;]Okay, I understand that this probably deserves more to be in the general discussion, but I don&#039;t think most of the people there knows about the 12 eagles of Rome.</p><p><br /></p><p>So this has been in my mind for a long time, According to legend, when Rome was founded in 753 BC, 12 eagles appeared, the early Romans took this sign as how long Roman civilization would last. They believed that each eagle represents a decade of Romes existence, and they believed that after 120 years, Rome would fall. Obviously Rome didn&#039;t fall in 633 BC. BUT the western roman empire did fall in 476 AD, 1229 years after the founding of Rome. 1229 is around 1200 years, so WHAT IF each eagle actually represented a century? Tell me if you&#039;ve ever thought about this.</p><p>I&#039;m probably overthinking, but this seems interesting.</p><p>Feel free to post your eagle coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
