Con este último posteo cerramos el recorrido de la sesión 1 desde la antigua grecia hasta los rincones mas lejanos de extremo oriente, pasando por monedas romanas republicanas, imperiales y bajo imperiales, bizantinas y medievales.
Dentro de cada sección encontraras piezas relevantes como la 60 Litras de Siracusa bajo Hieron II con un retrato de Perséfone muy atractivo; el denario de Julio César que ilustra a Eneas llevando a su padre Anquises a Italia después de la guerra de Troya; el cristograma de Magnencio; la silicua de Valentiniano I o el cash chino Wu Xing Da Bu, de un período muy escaso (Northern Zhou 557-581AD) previo a la reunificación iniciada por la dinastía Sui.
