So the main focus of my collecting has always been
the Severan period, with a healthy smattering of third century crisis coins. That said, I've recently branched out slightly and got interested in some very specific areas that fall outside this milieu. One of those is the Kingdom of
Cappadocia, after reading how they were one of the few conquered areas in
Alexander's empire that evaded Greek rule in the Hellenistic period, although they clearly adopted much of Greek culture. Another is
byzantine gold coins, but that's another story...
In any event, I started a new Cappadocian Kingdon
gallery that I may add a few coins to, starting with this rather handsome example from Ariobarzanes I's 30th regnal year.
I
hope you like it, and apologies to the
forum members who read my updates because you all love the Severan and crisis
Roman eras.
Please let me know what you think!
