Ancientnoob Pillar of the Community United States 5155 Posts	Posted 10/05/2014 12:11 am I thought it would be fun to select 3 coins from my collection and ask my fellow members, what do they have in common? How are they different? Do these 3 coins have any major significance or are they 3 obscure coins that looked cool together? Report this Post to the Staff

And later winning back Jerusalem under Heraclius. Auxsum which was a Christian kingdom also did battle with the Sassanians in the middle 6th century. Report this Post to the Staff

Wanted to make a thread about Axumite coinage. Yes, such a nice piece and the oldest bi-metallic I have. Report this Post to the Staff
