Arabic coins found in Gotland!

I think you will find actual invasions! Roma itself was reported sacked by the Saracens as was the South of France and even into present day Switzerland! The remains of them still exist today@

At least that is what our modern history tells us!!

I think there exists "somewhere" evidence of "occupation!" Certainly S. Italy was invaded and settled by Moslems.

Please realize; just how did the Jewish people occupy and settle along the N. Med Coast? Was it just because they were just "needed" by the locals for "Loans?"?

Perhaps the differences between Moslems and Jews and Christians was "less" a few hundred years ago? Remember that two of then had "Holy Stones" from the hand of God! Smile

And as well there exist etchings or drawings, etc. that show the Crescent projecting into the sky from the top of churches in Italy and Sicily especially! Yes! Indeed there was either some "occupation" of various places or the "conversion" rate was very high? smile

Even in Switzerland it seems some "occupation" occurred and flourished for many centuries. Names of places and peoples still bear the mark of it! The area around Sion, is prime for a search.

I think this diversion from the original topic of this particular thread needs its own site.
