Doesn’t seem surprising.

Years ago I paid big $$$ for some ancient Roman coins that had a date of 100 BC. Probably worth a lot more today.

This is very good news for me. I was visiting Katsuren Castle last year, and four coins fell out of a hole in my pocket. They were old Roman coins that I carried in memory of my ancestor, Leanum Rightus.

Japanese authorities, please forward these coins to me. In return, you will get a lovely thank-you note.

There’s a scene from the movie Sahara which is both cliche’ & apt:

The character tells another, “Coins travel” referencing skepticism about a key movie plot.

That’s absolutely right. Coins prove nothing because they can trade multiple hands from the point of trade origin, and I’m sure that even a millennia ago there were coin collectors.

Intriguing nonetheless.

I have always held the personal belief that Christ was sent to save humanity when and where he was because it would take the infrastructure of the Roman Empire for the apostles to spread the Word to the end of the earth.

Certainly God could have made it happen sooner, but He wanted, expected (and quite literally directed) His followers to go forth and, "make disciples of all nations."
