<p>[QUOTE=&quot;FitzNigel, post: 2265197, member: 74712&quot;]I guess my Siglos of Darius I/Xerxes would be the start of my Silk Road collection, as it was these early Persian emperors who built the Royal Road (and I see that as the real beginning of connecting east and west, even though there was limited trade contacts between the Sumerians and Aryans in India... But no coins then!)</p><p>[ATTACH=full]450392[/ATTACH] (Forgive the lack of attribution - I don&#039;t have access to my computer with the info. On it at the moment, but this coin has been shared before).&nbsp; I may eventually ad early coins of Lydia to this, and maybe even some proto money in Europe and China, but for now this will do.</p><p><br /></p><p>For my English monarchs, I intend to start with Alfred the Great, then follow the kings of Wessex to the conquest.&nbsp; Once (if) that&#039;s completed, then I&#039;ll probably grab the Kings of Northumbria and then East Anglia since I lived in both places.&nbsp; Maybe Mercia next (but defiantly would need to get a coin from Offa, just because...).&nbsp; If I&#039;m successfully at collecting the Anglo-Saxon Kings, then we can talk Roman emperors minted in England, then maybe Celtic, but I doubt I&#039;ll make it that far.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
