Picking up where we left off, in part 2 of my conversation with Leo from Classical Numismatics, we go deeper—tracing the earliest coins across Rome, Persia, and beyond. If you think everyone used silver, think again. From punch-marked coins in India to Roman bronze lumps, the diversity of 500 BC money tells a wild story of innovation and imitation.
