<p>[QUOTE="Macromius, post: 4563910, member: 90772"]Antioch, modern Antakya, is in Turkey today but was originally Syrian. Syria has been blown full of holes in recent years. There has been a glut of ancient Syrian coins on the market partially due to the war. I have quite a lot of Antioch coins and I wonder sometimes how many of them are "war coins." I think there are some moral questions that could, and should, be asked about collecting these coins but it's impossible to know exactly where they were found. Antioch did a lot of business all over the middle east.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
