Comment from : Josef Strauss

im very proud ,to own a very rare variation of g solidus brfrom theodosius the secondbrfact_i cant find the very same coin on the web 🤩
Comment from : EcoFriendlyOne

A lot of those coins are Macedonian, not Greek The Macedonians had the greatest empire of that time and they created millions of coins with the Koine Macedonian lettering, wrongly labelled as "Greek" by mainstream western academia
Comment from : Oak M

Great video, and amazing coins! Although the thumbnail made me expect some hellenistic coins as well
Comment from : Sergeant_Chris

Comment from : j0nnyism

Awesome video but, pottery is most widespread, not coins
Comment from : Roshi

I don’t think that the assertion of ten million coin is correct, it is likely exponentially a bigger quantity than that
Comment from : Ricardo Drumond

I find it impressive that there is so much detail on these coins given that much of these are about the size of an adults thumbnail and were made 2500 - 1500 years ago I would like to see how these were pressed and how the dies were made
Comment from : FPSEli

Surprised to see the expert handling ancient coins without wearing gloves
Comment from : chet allen

You can also be a legendary hero and kill the minotaur from the labyrinth by playing Titan Quest xD
Comment from : FabiWan

Comment from : Preston Phelps

The ancients must have had magnifying lenses in order to cut those dies and make those coins They are so detailed That is the only way Those coins could have been made
Comment from : TheTalkWatcher

I have a portrait coin of Julius Caesar with the letters CAES DICT PERPETUO inscribed around it - Caesar, Dictator for life I can only imagine what the people of Rome must have thought when they saw those coins, and whether they understood that the Republic was gone, and now they were subjects and not really citizens any more
Comment from : Victor De Grande

anyone know good sites where i can buy ancient coins,i have for a long time wanted to start collecting,but im so afraid to be scammed
Comment from : ocb 84

Comment from : Supreme Reader

I would like to know how the coins were made The process
Comment from : MirceaD28

Nice to see Chicago’s Temple building on YT
Comment from : RealClear

I'm more interested in the coins of the Hellenistic kings myself, but this is an interesting watch nonetheless It's really impressive how much detail they managed to fit onto those tiny coins
Comment from : 5h0rgunn

Mr Berg is touching and rubbing the face of the coins How will that preserve them?
Comment from : Bellarium

Some of my most favorite coins are from the original punic Carthage, some designs like Tanit and the horse are so simple but rare remnants of a destroyed civilization that once completed with the Roman Republic Had they won the Punic Wars, history as we know would be entirely different

Comment from : HerrGesetz

how common was it for the Ancients to snip off bits of their coinage in order to sell the precious metal?
Comment from : Peter Houle

Beautiful craftsmanship
Comment from : Steven Douglas

Those coins could nearly be used today Very neat, very well-made
Comment from : TheHylianBatman

The first group to get his portrait coins was the soldiers he was sending back to Italy that the Senate was asking for, a little bonus from the benefactor and added bragging rights in the whorrehouses and taverns were some of the money was spent
Comment from : Pvt Johnson

You're making me want to own some ancient coins
Comment from : Mala Row

Amazing how these coins will still be relevant 2000 years from now
Comment from : JonatasAdoM

This is so cool! Studying roman history you sometimes lose touch with reality, it almost becomes fictional, with these coins you realize that they travelled around in peoples pockets and you get a sense of the real history with the humanity I also find it really cool that Theodosious II already had that Eastern Orthodox style all the way back in 400! I think that really sticks it to people who say the Eastern Roman Empire wasn't the Roman Empire

Comment from : daniel de palo

Why does everyone say that coins were first minted in Lydia around 600 BC when clearly coins were being minted in Ionia around 650 BC??
Comment from : The Human Tale

I really love the idea of having a coin that could had possibly been used by anyone in the past and i can still kinda touch back to them

interesting that dinero, from denarius, still means "money" in Spanish today, and the currency of Yugoslavia was called the dinar In the old French money, sou came from solidus
Comment from : Wasa Bista

Pellicula optima est!! Wow, this brings back memories! I worked for HJ Berk in Chicago in the 80s! The 1st ancient object I ever bought was a drachma of Alexander the Great I’m still a huge fan of coins from Sicily :)

Comment from : Money Mania

Always amazes me that they could make such highly detailed portraits, but couldnt make coins into a proper circle
Comment from : Sterling Wilkes

"That's a moray!" from your very interesting book I am reading Dean Martin would have been proud of the pun
Comment from : cdusen

It would be interesting to see how the dies were made and used to stamp out the coins I read that very few ancient dies remain because they used them until the dies wore out
Comment from : s mcchristy

Check out Bahram II drachm from the Persian Sassanian dynasty as one of the best looking coins from that periodbrThe Shah with the Queen and the Prince on the obverse
Comment from : Commercial and Residential Plasterboard Fixing QLD

Interested in the history of the coins Not so much that coin vendor telling me what they went for on action Felt kinda like one of those hundreds of american tv shows where they dig up some old storage unit and apraise its content
Comment from : Feffe

Maybe that Lydian coin was one that filled the pockets of Pericles’ forefather as he raided the treasury of Croesus And perhaps the Syracusan coin was in the pocket of Damocles as he complimented the tyrants good luck Very evocative

Comment from : Skincare CEO

Great video! I always wondered why are ancient coins almost always far from round, is it just from use or were they made that way?
