<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 8393394, member: 26302"]Now you are really getting into a sticky wicket [USER=44132]@Bing[/USER]. Lots of disagreements exist on where ancient ends and medieval begins. Personally, my definition is different for different cultures, (since not all of us limit ourselves to Euro-centric collecting). For Europe, I say the fall of the western roman empire, for central Asia/middle east it would be the fall of the Sasanid empire, for China it would rise of the Tang dynasty, for India the fall of the Gupta empire, and SE Asia the fall of Funan empire and rise of Dvaravati.</p><p><br /></p><p>All of these things are similar in that they were fundamental changes in attitude in life that all happened somewhat similarly on the timeline around the world. Maybe the latest would be the fall of the Sasanid empire, for which I own a Yazdegird III probably struck in the last few years of his reign, (I suck at photos though).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
