Ancient Coins – from Ancient Persia to early Roman Christianity
As promised new Ancient coins are now available on our website. This upload is entitled "Ancient coins from Ancient Persia to early Roman Christianity". As the name might suggest this upload will cover a wide span of the history of classical antiquity.
You'll find coins from the Persian Empire, coins struck by the Ptolemaic Dynasty of Egypt, coins of the Ancient Greek settlements of Turkey, coins of well-known Roman Emperors, and also coins of some not so well-known Roman Emperors. Such as Postumus, Carausius the breakaway Roman Emperor of Britain and Northern Gaul, and Julian II – the last pagan emperor.
As always, there's only one of each available, so don't miss out on this chance to add to your collection coins that might be missing! We hope you get the coins you want...
