<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ValiantKnight, post: 1960861, member: 44210&quot;]Thanks for the feedback. I only left all that space because I didn&#039;t want the thread page to blow up the photo like my photo viewing program does and make the details hard to see (this happens with the photos of my really small coins), but I see the details still look fine after your editing so in the future I&#039;ll crop my tiny coins like I do with the rest of my coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;Really glad you like my post green18. I have a bit more background in my original thread here: <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/gelimer-last-king-of-the-vandals-and-alans.245618/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/gelimer-last-king-of-the-vandals-and-alans.245618/">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/gelimer-last-king-of-the-vandals-and-alans.245618/</a></p><p>But I revisited this coin so I shortened the info a bit this time around.</p><p><br /></p><p>Interesting fact I found btw: when Rome was sacked by the Vandals in 455 AD (guess where our definition of &#039;vandal/vandalism&#039; comes from <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />), they carried off as part of their loot the golden menorah that the Romans had taken from the Jews in Jerusalem in 70 AD (the same menorah depicted on the Arch of Titus). They kept the menorah in their capital Carthage. When the Byzantine Roman army captured Carthage, they took it back to Constantinople and displayed it during the last ever Roman triumph. The menorah is last recorded as having been transported back to Jerusalem.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks all for the complements![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
