How bout I just grab one of your beautiful t-shirts this year instead. I really wanna grab the Probus Minerva Lughdunum mint. I grabbed a beautiful one of these coins this year.
I have three of the Sri Lankan copies of late Roman issues. They are very crude. I bought them because I had never heard of them before, so it's cool to see them featured in a video!!
I lived in Okinawa in 2015. I remember the story of the archaeological excavation of those Roman coins. Initially I thought they would have made their way to China and then onto Okinawa but the Ottoman coin with it shocks me. Almost certainly they were found later and made their way together by some later contemporary merchant. I think they just passed off as metal trade. It's not far fetched but Roman coins already made their way to America now. It's just another chapter in the saga of the Roman empire. Thank you for such a rich entertaining video!!!!
probably the Roman coins stayed for a thousand years somewhere in Constantinople - maybe in a church, maybe even in a grave - until they were plundered by the Ottomans, who than spent them on importing silk, spices and tea from the far East.
I recently had a similar thing happen with an Ottoman coin. While cleaning coins from an uncleaned Roman lot I came across a 15th century Ottoman coin of Murad II. How the hell an Ottoman coin ended up in an uncleaned Roman lot is completely beyond me.
Thanks Leo for great video. We saw Gladiator last night, very entertaining,but as you probably guessed a numismatic nightmare. Plastic prop coins and Gold Denari. Best wishes 😀
Really interesting. The Roman Empire had a small client kingdom at the Crimea region for centuries, this might explain the presence of such coins there
The Roman Senate banned silk in the first century (14 AD) because it was creating such a huge trade deficit. I imagine many Roman coins made their way to China because of the silk trade
They most definitely made it, although the vast majority seem to have stayed in India, where they are very common finds today. Chinese merchants probably brought and sold the silk there.
@ClassicalNumismatics they were copper and silver. Title is Punch Marked coins in the British Museum, 1967. The copper coins in the book was not extensive, and only 1 type. I have more than 1 type.
It makes sense with small change, I still get a few Canadian coins every year in Baltimore. People don't look closely or care much about pennies and nickels.
In the Shosoin in Nara Japan, goods from Iran show up, such as glassware. If goods from Iran from 1200 years ago could be found in a treasure warehouse now in Japan, Roman coins don't seem that difficult in Shuri castle in Naha Okinawa.
One thing I’d like to say is so called -Viking coinages- did exist by around 900ad some are the raven banner penny by Cnut the great though that is a later date 1000 or so the Anglo-Saxons basically also a Viking people for most purposes did also and mint coins and by 700 ad money was widespread Norman’s also minted coins another -Viking people- tho all of these groups are just Northern European or from Scandinavia rather than -Viking- a interesting type of coinage I don’t think many people even know about and the kingdom of axkum is another one in Africa I’ve read made coins based on Roman designs and haven’t seen much there coinage possible topics for a video coins inspired by trade with Rome

"Damn, son, where did you find this?!" 🔥
Do you no the RIC number of the coin at 13:20. Thanks in advance because I own that coin

They are very crude indeed, but its fascinating to see people immitating Roman coins soooo far away from Rome

It could simply be the dealer adding coins to the lot, but it could also be that the Roman pieces were in circulation during the Ottoman period.
Great video! 1,000 years from now archeologists might find a hoard of Roman coins in Oregon near my house and be puzzled!
"There seems to have been a revival and very quick expansion of the Roman Empire in the XXI century"

This is good stuff as always Leo. Thx for your work
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it :)
Another banger, Leo! Obelix and Asterix must have lost a few denarii in the Americas too ;)
Great video, as always
Thank you! :)
Excellent video! Really makes you think about how interconnected the ancient world was.
The Ancient world was much more monetized and complex than we believe!
Thanks Leo for great video.
We saw Gladiator last night, very entertaining,but as you probably guessed a numismatic nightmare.
Plastic prop coins and Gold Denari.
Best wishes 😀
Ohh God, the plastic Aureii, and the "Gold Denarii"
Very interesting topic!
Well done!
Thank you!
The fact that Roman coins were found in Japan amazes me! Thanks for another great video!
Its indeed astonishing! Next step would be Antactica, or Mars 😂

I red somewhere that a Ptolemaic coin was ever Found on the shores in the Southern hemisphere
Roman coins are frequently found in South Western Russia - Kursk, Voronezh region.
Really interesting. The Roman Empire had a small client kingdom at the Crimea region for centuries, this might explain the presence of such coins there
@@ClassicalNumismatics I’d be interested in learning more on that topic
Let’s goooo more Classical Numismatics 💪💪💪💪
Lets gooo! 🔥
Excellent video as always. Trade networks are in my opinion the most interesting part of the ancient world!
They are! And it shows how incredibly complex ancient societies were.

You learn something new all the time 👍
Thanks for the new video ! 😊
It almost sounds like some time traveler is just messing with us, placing coins or artifacts in places where they couldn't be.
Dr Who playing some tricks on us!
I was reading about Punch Marked coins and they are found with lots of other coins, including Roman.
Pretty cool! You mean the copper punchmarked coins from the Mauryas?
@ClassicalNumismatics they were copper and silver. Title is Punch Marked coins in the British Museum, 1967. The copper coins in the book was not extensive, and only 1 type. I have more than 1 type.
Awesome video
Thank you! Did you learn something new?

I hope you can eventually get your hands on some Axumite coins, they are all incredibly unique.
Fingers crossed. Such amazing coins!
Very interesting, could the scarcity of silver in the third century and beyond have been caused by the deficit?
Cool video! Deserves more views. Are you Brazilian?
Acho que ele é italiano
Thank you! Hopefully the TH-cam Algorithm is kind with me one day. Yes I am, although Ive emigrated to Spain more than a decade ago.
Another great video, thanks!
How much would one of them coins at 13:09 go for? I'd love to buy one!
These little Constantine bronzes are very affordable. 20 Euros or so can get you in pristine condition
very interresting video
Very interesting video, Roman coinage went further then I thought
And thats because I only decided to go over the reports confirmed without a doubt.
They likely went even further!
I’m pretty sure the Ottomans tried to larp as the new Roman Empire!
They did, just because they took Constantinople :(
A Greek from Constantinople could have such a coin. A Byzantine and an Ottoman...
It could perfectly be such a case
Furthest north I think is northern Norway
Could very well be the case! I prefered to pick the hoards that have been thoroughly studied.
They had a long time to travel
They sure did!!! 😂
What is this ? Coins for ants !
Soooo tinyyy
A Roman oil lamp was found in the English settlement at Jamestown.
