Thanks for posting this one. The familiarity of Roman and Greek cultures make it easier for new collectors like myself to start with them, but the posts on this forum really do a great job of showing what else is out there. Thanks!

WOW! Now this is an awesome coin. For those of you who don't know this guy brought down Constantinople. A wonderful addition. I would like more if it were in my collection.
