<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gavin Richardson, post: 2614937, member: 83956&quot;]Major Focus: Constantine and his age, both for the fact that LRB’s are budget-friendly and because I have an interest in Christian history. Constantine the man was fascinating and full of contradictions, and his coinage is vast, with a little something for everyone and every pocketbook.</p><p><br /></p><p>Minor Focus: Coins related to the Bible (Shekel of Tyre, “Tribute Penny,” <i>prutot, </i>etc<i>.</i>).</p><p><br /></p><p>Minor Focus: Coins related to texts that I teach. This means that the logic of my modest collection might only be apparent to me. Everything from a Julius Caesar “Aeneas” denarius (for the <i>Aeneid</i>) to a Khusro II Sassanid drachm because it shows fire altar attendants on the reverse, which are mentioned in an early biography of Muhammad. (Salman the Persian was a Zoroastrian who was the first non-Arab convert to Islam.)</p><p>[ATTACH=full]572799[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]572801[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]572802[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
