<p>[QUOTE="Hiddendragon, post: 1975603, member: 25270"]Nice. I love Portuguese coins, and I agree that their role in early exploration is sadly overlooked today. I read a book on their exploration and early colonies and one of the things that held them back was they actually ran out of manpower to crew their ships and administer their colonies. The country wasn't populous enough for its ambitions.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
