shanxi Posted December 28, 2022 · Supporter Author Share Posted December 28, 2022 The eleventh time period of our little game starts now. Now we enter two important coinage areas. Roman imperial coins and Roman provincial coins. But of course there are also interesting coins from the rest of the world. For two days it is year -50 to the year 0 (or BCE) And remember: This is not only for exactly datable coins, but for all coins which fit in the time period, worldwide; i.e. all coins which were at least probably/possibly minted during this period 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
