<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 7485689, member: 26302&quot;]I agree. Early Roman and some greek areas, (especially classically greek), are our main areas we know what the coins were called. </p><p><br /></p><p>Coins are weird. They are so universal in cultures that usually they do not really mention them. Most writing was about science, poetry, history, geography, etc. Normal things related to everyday life usually is not mentioned, if writing from that civilization survives at all. </p><p><br /></p><p>For most cultures, try to find out recipes for their favorite dishes, what gifts they exchanged, etc. &quot;Boring&quot; everyday life, even if we still have writing from them, simply was not documented. Remember most people were illiterate, and paper was very expensive. It was not viewed worthy of writing down, unlike today where with the internet you can find 100,000 recipes with a click, and find out more than I ever want to know about Kim Kardashian.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
