Hello!
My teenage son has a keen interest in the
history of ancient
Rome and the
Byzantine empire.
I think he would love to own a
good Roman coin or two (or more) depicting one of the following emperors: Julian (the Apostate),
Constantine,
Trajan,
Hadrian, or
Octavian.
The idea that the coins were actually used by people of the time is an amazing thing-- I used to collect coins for that reason, but nothing approaching this age!
I was thinking of spending around $100 for a
Christmas gift. I could go a little higher if needed.
Does anyone have any suggestions for something in that
price range that's particularly interesting, artistic, pretty, etc.? Silver would be nice if a decent one is affordable.
Thank you,
Ann
