Hi Lausanne, I saw Alex on the title and thought you might have a good recommendation for Alexander III of Macedonia? Specifically, I am looking for reference to him mining gold and silver or melting his stores to pay up his armies; also I have heard that he also conquered parts of South Asia? I am trying to see how that fits with the evolution of coinage. Thanks!

Hi Lausanne, Was Syria at its height in 635 AD or on the wane, thus the siege? In the British Museum I was entranced by the Syrian room and the docent explained how powerful they were and how they led the world for a long while w/ their innovations. Also the entrance to the room and everything in it were simply incredible.
