Take a journey back in time down the centuries. Down past the discovery of America and the Norman Conquest, down past Roman Britain and the birth of Christ.
This collection takes you back to 5 centuries BEFORE the birth of Christ:
- From the 5th Century BC is a Persian Siglos coin, from the reign of the greatest of the Persian kings Darius Hystaspis, whose kingdom extended from Northwest India to the Caucasus and Thrace (Modern Bulgaria)
- From the 4th a Phillip II of Macedon, who was the father of Alexander the Great. He laid the foundations for the achievements of his brilliant son.
- From the 3rd an Indian Punch Mark, which came into northern India from Pakistan, following the route taken by Alexander the Great.
- from the 2nd Century a silver Drachma, from the powerful independent state of Illyria, which became a Roman Province after provocation from Queen Teuta.
- from the 1st Century BC a Pontus coin from the Roman Empire; the kingdom of Pontus reached its zenith under Mithradates VI Eupator, but challenged Rome's dominance in the area.
