Coins of Antiquity
Ancient Greek & Roman Coins: As the old saying goes, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder." To most coin collectors, condition is everything. Our subject here is a matter that is very important to some collectors but often seems overlooked by the masses who set demand and prices. An early page on this site visited a coin showing my personal favorite portrait of the young Caracalla Caesar. What made that coin special was 'style' but the precise definition of that term is not all that easily set into words. What made that coin special was not its condition (it was only 'fine') nor its rarity but the success with which the die cutter captured the likeness of the young boy who later would become that snarling adult capable even of killing his own brother.

Tales of Future Past
It wasn't that long ago that we had a future. I mean, we have one now; the world isn't going to crash into the Sun or anything like that. What I mean is that we had a future that we could clearly imagine. The future wasn't tomorrow, next week, next year, or next century. It was a place with a form, a structure, a style. True, we didn't know exactly what the future would be like, but we knew that it had to be one of a few alternatives; some good, some very bad. The future was a world with a distinct architecture. It had its own way of speaking. It had its own technology. It was for all intents and purposes a different land where people dressed differently, talked differently, ate differently, and even thought differently. It was where scientists were wizards, where machines were magically effective and efficient, where tyrants were at least romantically evil rather than banal, and where the heavens were fairyland where dreams could literally come true.

"People and rickshaws in a street full advertisement signs for Chinese shops; the top of a pagoda is coming out among roofs (top right)."
Shanghai in Images is the fruit of a collaboration between the Institute of East Asian Studies (Lyon 2 University - Lyon 3 University - CNRS), the Center for Chinese Studies (University of California, Berkley) and ECAI (Electronic Cultural Atlas Initiative). This database has as its vocation to put forward a history of this great Chinese metropolis through photographs.
Although centered on Shanghai, the project is engaged in a constant process of enrichment and enlargement, notably by extension to include large Chinese cities and more diverse aspects of life in China before 1949.

Kamagasaki
Kamagasaki, is the largest slum in Japan. Located in the south end of downtown Osaka, Kamagasaki is a one square kilometer "city within a city".

There are almost no social benefits for the people in Kamagasaki, and like the elderly workers that live here, the town is dying.
