<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 3840005, member: 76194&quot;]Here&#039;s some Iberian coins I saw in a Catalunyan museum . I wonder if any of you have the same type and can identify them?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1019332[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>As you can see, there&#039;s one missing. I have to say that the museums in the Catalunyan provinces of Spain were amazing, full of all sorts of ancient artifacts, but when it came to coins they were huge disappointment. Lots of rooms full of Roman, Celtic, and Greek artifacts of all kinds (and really high end stuff too), but there was one area where they were sorely lacking...there was a huge dearth of ancient numismatics. It&#039;s sad to see museums put so much effort into statues, sarcophagi, tablets, pots, mosaic floors, etc., yet not a single coin to be found anywhere on display. And it&#039;s not because Spain has a lack of ancient coins. There&#039;s plenty of articles about Roman and Greek/Celtic coins being found in Iberia. But it seems like museums just don&#039;t care about coins when they have so much other stuff to display.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
