<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ancientnoob, post: 2236073, member: 44140&quot;]The time frame for &quot;Medieval&quot; depends on where you are and what culture you are talking about.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>In the strictest euro-centric sense the medieval period beings when the caleder rolls over AD 476. With the fall of the Western Roman Empire. So in effect the medieval period refers to the period after the fall of Rome and the Fall of Constantinople ( AD 1453) or Columbus&#039; discovery of <i>India </i>(AD 1492). </p><p><br /></p><p>The &quot;dark ages&quot; is a fairly modern construction, and refers to the loss of ancient knowledge, warfare, and disease that erased most of the ancient knowledge in Europe. I&#039;d like to think the dark ages ended with the restoration of Europe&#039;s population or the reintroduction of the ancient lost knowledge preserved by the Muslims. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Even in the dark ages the light was on somewhere. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have a great many dark age coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
