[QUOTE="Sallent, post: 2681515, member: 76194"]Don't get me wrong, I see your point. The Judean kingdoms, and most Asian Kingdoms don't come close to Rome and Greece as far as greatness, rich history, art and architecture, and power. Pretty much the only Empires that come close or equal Rome and Greece in all those aspects were the Ancient Egyptians, Chinese, Persians, Parthians, and Sassanian. Everything else just pails in comparison. If it wasn't for the Bible and Christianity, probably 90% of us would have never heard of the old Judean kingdoms and their ancient culture, or the Philistines, and other minor tribes that lived in the area over 2,000 years ago. Still, that's never stopped me from collecting coinage of these lesser ancient cultures I might not care much for. While I may not collect too many coins from those kingdoms, it's still nice to have at least a handful of representational examples.[/QUOTE]
