[edit] Influences

Munro-Hay is a bit confusing here. He cites the end of SA coinage by the time of Aksum's minting era, yet he mentions the finding of Himyarite coins. Perhaps they're to be dated to an earlier date? ዮም (Yom) | contribsTalk 06:42, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Are we seriously suggesting that the designer of these coins had not seen Greek or Roamn coins? --Henrygb 18:18, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Name

Axum Coinage seems like a very arbitrary name to me. Why not Aksumite Coinage or Coinage of Aksum? — ዮም (Yom) | contribsTalk 21:07, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

  • So can we get all the ancient currency page titles the same, maybe use coinage instead of currency. Enlil Ninlil 05:57, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
