<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Clonecommanderavgvsvs, post: 8159473, member: 106975&quot;]Welp, since there is already a medieval Monday, we can just call it monogram day<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie98" alt=":wacky:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>One of my collecting goals of this year are east and western Roman Empire monograms. Well so far it’s only really been eastern since late western Roman Empire coins are expensive as heck/difficult to find. I have, however, gotten two good examples of Marcian and Zeno.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;Marcian is notable for standing up to Attila the Hun and stopping the gold payments to him. Zeno is notable for being eastern emperor when Rome fell and sending Theodoric to snuff out Odoacer, leading to the Ostrogothic kingdom in Italy [ATTACH=full]1423976[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]1423977[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1423978[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]1423979[/ATTACH]I find something alluring about these monograms. Perhaps it’s because my&nbsp; initials can make a monogram <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[ATTACH=full]1423991[/ATTACH] anyways! Feel free to post any monograms, no matter ancient or medieval.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
