Why are there so few roman coins found in the islamic parts of the former roman empire?

>>215035091 (OP)
Arabia was an irrelevant shithole during ancient times.

desert

3000 years ago it was just us

>>215035145
But Egypt and Anatolia have almost none aswell compared to even the parts of germany that were never part of rome.

what’s the story of the roman coin in okinawa?

>>215035091 (OP)
Notice how there are more coins found outside of Italy, so much for being Romans huh? Very telling

found in ruin of castle constructed in 12 - 15th century. it was found with other coins of Ottoman Empire, so it was brought at least after 17th century

Lack of excavation and general lack of nationalists collecting them to larp

>>215035379

the mishna talks about this i think some guy on x explained it. has nothing to do with islamics it was against the law in the persian empire to hold roman coinage if they caught you they fined or imprisoned you or something.

it was a smart rule because if the greeks had it they could have prevented the persian takeover of greece at the time.

>>215035091 (OP)
Korean stole them all.

>>215036201
But Egypt and Anatolia were never under persian rule after they were conquered by Rome

>>215036284

kek this sounds like old hebrew euphemisum for a perso-roman trade war

>>215036567
That explains why there's so few in Iran and Iraq but not the relative lack of coins in Egypt and Anatolia

>>215036810
it looks in this map like there were plenty in egypt and anatolia there's a marker on every place in both that was inhabited

there's also sampling bias this isnt a 'map of roman coins' its a 'map of roman coins found by europeans/that europeans know about' probably which over samples europe (same reason europe looks like dystopian hell on the 'map of all battles ever')

Based coin collector Otaku lord

>>215035091 (OP)
Less archeological teams working in those countries

>>215037223
But most coins get found at random during construction or while plowing fields

>>215037223
Ackschually, it's "fewer"

>>215035091 (OP)
Because Muslims don't care about history as much. Pic related was used to build a wall.

>>215035091 (OP)
because muslim are culturally retarded golems and think nothing except their stinky religion full of inbred so they probably melted the coins.
Remember: they tried to destroy the pyramid of Egypt

>>215035091 (OP)
Obsession with history is a western trait. They sold/traded all of that shit or re-used it because this past is dead and all that matters now is the present. No I'm not joking. You ask stupid questions because the idea of other people seeing life in a completely different manner than you seems impossible. Nothing you care about is important to them. They have their own ways and beliefs and couldn't care less about your approval (unless it's forced at gunpoint).

>>215037276
in a country that gives basically nothing to archeological organizations people aren't even gonna turn coins in.

>>215035091 (OP)
Because Africans don't invest in archaeology which is virtually an exclusively European study

Even Americans don't do archaeology on a. European level

>>215037467
Christians are the same though, people only started to care when the churchs influence waned. Abrahamics are naturally taliban coded.

>>215037276
No, most coins are found by metal detectorists now
Stick to Wikipedia edit wars

>>215037491
The actual reason is this.
In Europe you are compensated generally 90% of a finds value.
Elsewhere you may not even be given money so it is much more profitable to sell it illegally

>>215035091 (OP)
Most coins are found by random enthusiasts with a metal detecting hobby. Decent metal detectors are fairly expensive so you won't see poorer secondies/thirdies indulge in such hobby as much as europeans (it's pretty niche in Italy as well, while it's a fairly common hobby in Britain)

>>215037755
>coins are found by random enthusiasts with a metal detecting hobby
Museums seethe at then because most are incels and don't like anything outside of their control
I still find them perpetuating 200 year old lies without opposition

Thanks that explination makes sense

>>215035218
Browns and competent archeology don't mix. Europe grows its own archaeologists who comb through their countries looking for artifacts; we can barely teach kids basic arithmetic and have a 75% literacy rate.
