cool Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 That looks pretty old. It could be roman as the roman empire did contain Afghanistan. Btw, My house is less than 50km from the spot Alexander the Great's conquest ended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arminius Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 These late Roman bronze coins had been minted in huge quantities. As finds show they followed the ancient trade routes east til the reached India, Ceylon and the islands of Indonesia after years of traveling and exchange. So Afghanistan had been just in the neighborhood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
