<p>[QUOTE=&quot;svessien, post: 663272, member: 15481&quot;]This is one of my favorite coins. A Vespasian tetradrachm from the time around the sacking and destruction of Solomos temple. The coin may well have been made from silver stolen from the temple. </p><p>I wish Solomos temple was still standing today, but it isn&#039;t.</p><p>This coin is remaining to tell the tale.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x317/svessien/Roman/VespasianSyriaAntioch69-70ADARTetra.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Adolf Hitler has become the arch villain of history; the one everyone loves to hate, and are allowed to hate. Probably well deserved, but it is only productive if one looks at history for parallels to our time, not to find someone worse to point the finger at, to argue that ones own society and country is flawless.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>What about a thread called &quot;The problem with US coins&quot;, arguing that all Vietnam war era coins should be melted due to the atrocities there? Would that be acceptable?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
