Mark Saltveit / PBH's Free Fringe • Semi-professional company

50 minutes•Downstairs Room
Ancient coins are rare, historical, often beautiful and sometimes funny. This is a family-friendly show – with silly humour, hands-on coin-making, amazing pictures – but not just for kids. Hold real ancient coins, proto-money and pirate treasure! Learn about Axum (the first Christian kingdom in Africa), beautiful abstract Celtic coins and their love of horses, Kushan, Khwarezmia, and Baktria (Alexander the Great's wealthy, orphaned Central Asian kingdom, which spread Buddhism to China). Discover forgeries, treasure hoards, and the mysterious Tanlis Mardates and his beautiful bride Raggodeme. 'A masterclass in infotainment... passion as performance art' (GetYourBootsOn).
