SO, what is it like to hold a 3000 year old object in your hands?
To possess an object that had worth and meaning to the person that owned it so long ago? It doesn’t matter if it's a coin, a statue, an arrowhead, or ancient jewelry ---- the fact is, you are holding history in your hands. A piece of the world that has traveled 1000, 2000, even 3000 times around the sun and existed through 12000 seasons.
This is our goal – to put history into your hands. To literally touch the past.
Also --- be sure to click on the drop down menus - there are many other headings under the main title to access many other categories!

Ancient Coin Sizes and Values
The "AE" scale divides all bronze (AES) coins into four groups by size.
• AE1 coins are over 25mm.
• AE2 are between 21mm and 25mm.
• AE3 are between 17mm and 21mm.
• AE4 are coins under 17mm.
Coins not perfectly round are measured at their greatest diameter.
NOTE:
The AE1 to AE4 scale works ONLY for late Roman bronzes. Greek and Greek Imperial coins are measured by a completely different system.
These are simply the measurement in millimeters preceded by the metal abbreviation. AE13, then, is a bronze coin of 13mm diameter; AR6 is a silver coin of 6mm diameter. Gold, Electrum, Nickel, Billon (looking a little silver) and Lead coins are abbreviated AV, EL, NI, BI and PB respectively. In both systems no effort is made to separate bronzes into copper, brass or other alloys; all are AE. The existence of this double system is made less confusing by the absence of late Roman Bronze coins as small as 4mm. If you see a coin called AE4 (or less) you know that it is measured by the late Roman scale. If the number is 5 or greater, the measurement is in millimeters.
