<p>[QUOTE="ancient coin hunter, post: 4187233, member: 87200"]I like collecting Byzantines as a side interest from Roman Imperial and Provincials, which make up the bulk of my collection. I had a great time in Istanbul a few years back and was there for several weeks, also saw various other famed cities in Asia Minor. In Sinai, I visited the monastery of St. Catherine which also is a Byzantine structure, fortified in the time of Justinian. They have a great collection of original documents from the time including a letter from Muhammad which promised religious freedom to the monks and protection as well. Located at the foot of Mt. Sinai, you can also take the 3500 steps of repentance to the top of the mountain.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
