Fwiw, southernmost Sasanian coin find seems to be from Tanzania, though pottery and glass found as far south as coast of Mozambique....
amazing how Sasanian culture could reach so many different corners
Absolutely! Really is quite fascinating just how widely spread its cultural reach was in the 6th-7thC...!
true! Quite nice to see scholars exploring it more and more
What did it buy? Whose hands did it pass through? Was it cast into the sea as a gift or somehow lost? Human currencies . . .
PAS record seems to imply linked to contemporary imports of Byzantine coins, fwiw... Intriguing if so!
It's easy to imagine the possessor of such an exotic coin believing it had magical powers like a talisman.
very interesting again. to think how far these coins have traveled amazing
Cool! The photo is mirrored - the portrait shoud face right.
The head of the coin looks somewhat Mayan the "tails" side more Sumerian imo
Cher relic
