Thanks BGHater. Over the past week (I was on vacation of sorts) I read the name of a Roman colony town in India, obviously a commercial enterprise. I'm intrigued about a Roman road in India being shown on this map. |

A lot of these lumps come from metal detector operators in eastern Europe, and most of the coins (if they can be cleaned enough to look ‘em over) tend to be nearly illegible. These are generally late empire bronzes, not a very good bronze to start with, and having been buried (possibly as those who buried them had to flee the Huns or whatnot) for seventeen centuries hasn’t done them any good. Still, I’ve been tempted to try one. I have read that fakery, even with these low-value ancient coins, has become common because it’s unusual to find hoards of ancient coins just setting around in a field somewhere. (’:
http://www.catbikes.ch/coinstuff/coins-fakes.htm
“Below are some pictures of fake Bulgarian “uncleaned Roman” coins which were found end of 2003, early 2004 in batches of uncleaned coins sold by dealers all over the world. Note that these are only a few samples. Just about every type of common-ish bronze coin is now in circulation as a fake. Most fakes are those of Constantine I and II, Licinius I and II, Constans, Constantius I and II, Valens, Jovian, Septimius Severus.”
Thanks for the reply - It will be interesting to see what types of name my son and his classmates (7th grade) find! And I’m not going to tell him they might be fake either - they are trying to make this history stuff (and learning Latin!) fun - and I’m not about to ruin it.
I did come across a program that sells these coins along with study CD’s, etc. - so I’m thinking that the teacher’s story of “she knows an archaologist...” is a bit of a story as well.
sounds great!

I glanced at the first link - thanks, looks interesting and will share it with my son. He’ll ask me a Latin question and I just stare at him with a glazed look in my eye - its all “Greek” to me!
Excellent site is an understatement. Thanks for posting the link.
| My Library! I used to live in Canberra. I practically lived at the National Library. Their Map Reading Rooms and Rare Book Rooms are unbelievable. Magnificent place. |  |
Andreas Fingernail? What a strange name.
It’s the Austrian National Library, mentioned here, not the Australian one!
Don’t forget the sewers, Reg.
Really, really neato Map of the ancient world as known to the Romans. I’ll be bookmarking this, and studying it. Roads were so very important to getting this ol’ world on track!
Ah ha!
We're lost, dear. Let's ask directions at the next taverna.
No need, honey, check out this nifty map!
