shanxi Posted January 11, 2023 · Supporter Author Share Posted January 11, 2023 The eighteenth time period (year 300 to 350) starts now. In Rome, MANY ! e.g. Constantius I, Galerius, Maximinus Daia, Maxentius, Romulus, Licinius and the whole Constantine family Worldwide: In China we have sixteen kingdoms, we have the Sassanid Empire, the Aksumite Kingdom, the Gupta Empire and many more.... For two days it is year 300 to the year 350 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 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
