<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Dougmeister, post: 2645692, member: 56842&quot;]I am interested in acquiring a coin depicting the Temple of Artemis in ancient Ephesus. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temple_of_Artemis" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temple_of_Artemis" rel="nofollow">Wikipedia</a> tells me that the Temple was built around 550 BC, destroyed by Herostratus in 356 BC, rebuilt in 323 BC, and destroyed in AD 262 by the Goths.</p><p><br /></p><p>(<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_Wonders_of_the_Ancient_World" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_Wonders_of_the_Ancient_World" rel="nofollow">Alternate reference to all 7 Wonders of the Ancient World at Wikipedia</a>)</p><p><br /></p><p>Concurrently, I am interested in obtaining a relatively inexpensive coin that would have been in circulation during the early 1st century AD in Ephesus.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now for my question.</p><p><br /></p><p><i>If I want to kill two birds with one coin, how far back in time could I go?</i></p><p><br /></p><p>E.g., if I find a coin from the 1st century BC, is there is a decent chance it was still in use a hundred years later?
