Assassins is the name given to the Nizari Ismailis in the mountains of Persia and Syria between about 1090 to 1275. The name was not used by the Nizaris themselves, but was given to them by their opponents in Syria. Nizarism formed in the late 11th century after a split within Ismailism, a branch of Shia Islam. Based on texts from Alamut, their grand master Hassan-i Sabbah tended to call his disciples Asasiyyun (??????? , meaning “people who are faithful to the foundation [of the faith]“), but some foreign travellers like Marco Polo misunderstood the name as deriving from the term hashish. The Nizaris posed a strategic threat to Sunni Seljuq authority by capturing and inhabiting several mountain fortresses throughout Persia and later Syria, under the leadership of Hassan-i Sabbah. Asymmetric warfare, psychological warfare, and surgical strikes were often a tactic of the assassins, drawing their opponents into submission rather than risk killing them. While “Assassins” typically refers to the entire sect, only a group of acolytes known as the fida’i actually engaged in conflict. Lacking their own army, the Nizari relied on these warriors to carry out espionage and assassinations of key enemy figures, and over the course of 300 years they successfully killed two caliphs, and many viziers, sultans, and Crusader leaders. During the rule of Imam Rukn-ud-Din Khurshah, the Nizari state declined internally, and was eventually destroyed as the Imam surrendered the castles to the invading Mongols. The Mongols destroyed and eliminated their Order. Mentions of Assassins were preserved within European sources – such as the writings of Marco Polo – where they are depicted as trained killers, responsible for the systematic elimination of opposing figures. The word “assassin” has been used ever since to describe a hired or professional killer, leading to the related term “assassination”, which denotes any action involving murder of a high-profile target for political reasons.

PRE ORDER FOR END OF MAY 2019. Copernicusis alunarimpact craterlocated in eastern Oceanus Procellarum. It was named after the astronomerNicolaus Copernicus. It typifies craters that formed during theCopernican periodin that it has a prominentray system. Copernicus is visible usingbinoculars, and is located slightly northwest of the center of the Moon’s Earth-facing hemisphere. South of the crater is theMare Insularum, and to the south-south west is the craterReinhold. North of Copernicus are the Montes Carpatus, which lie at the south edge ofMare Imbrium. West of Copernicus is a group of dispersed lunar hills. Due to its relative youth, the crater has remained in a relatively pristine shape since it formed. The circular rim has a discernible hexagonal form, with aterracedinner wall and a 30km wide, slopingrampartthat descends nearly a kilometer to the surroundingmare. There are three distinct terraces visible, and arc-shapedlandslidesdue to slumping of the inner wall as the crater debris subsided. Most likely due to its recent formation, the crater floor has not been flooded bylava. The terrain along the bottom is hilly in the southern half while the north is relatively smooth. The central peaks consist of three isolated mountainous rises climbing as high as 1.2km above the floor. These peaks are separated from each other by valleys, and they form a rough line along an east-west axis. Infrared observations of these peaks during the 1980s determined that they were primarily composed of themaficform ofolivine. 999 Weight: 1 Oz – 31.1g Diameter: 38.61 mm Mintage: 666 Pcs Worldwide Finish: ANTIQUE FINISH AND HIGH RELIEF Certificate COA: Yes Box: Yes.

DESCRIPTION FIRST COIN ON THE SERIE OF WARRIORS. In Japanese, they are usually referred to as bushi , b. According to translator William Scott Wilson: In Chinese, the character was originally a verb meaning’to wait upon’,’accompany persons’ in the upper ranks of society, and this is also true of the original term in Japanese, saburau. In both countries the terms were nominalized to mean’those who serve in close attendance to the nobility’, the Japanese term saburaibeing the nominal form of the verb. According to Wilson, an early reference to the word samuraiappears in the Kokin Wakash (905914), the first imperial anthology of poems, completed in the first part of the 10th century. By the end of the 12th century, samurai became almost entirely synonymous with bushi, and the word was closely associated with the middle and upper echelons of the warrior class. The samurai were usually associated with a clan and their lord, and were trained as officers in military tactics and grand strategy. While the samurai numbered less than 10% of then Japan’s population, their teachings can still be found today in both everyday life and in modern Japanese martial arts. Following the Battle of Hakusukinoe against Tang China and Silla in 663 AD which led to a retreat from Korean affairs, Japan underwent widespread reform. One of the most important was that of the Taika Reform, issued by Prince Naka-no-e (Emperor Tenji) in 646 AD. This edict allowed the Japanese aristocracy to adopt the Tang dynasty political structure, bureaucracy, culture, religion, and philosophy. As part of the Taih Code of 702 AD, and the later Yr Code, the population was required to report regularly for the census, a precursor for national conscription. With an understanding of how the population was distributed, Emperor Monmu introduced a law whereby 1 in 34 adult males were drafted into the national military. This was one of the first attempts by the Imperial government to form an organized army modeled after the Chinese system. It was called “Gundan-Sei” (ja:) by later historians and is believed to have been short-lived. [citation needed] The Taih Code classified most of the Imperial bureaucrats into 12 ranks, each divided into two sub-ranks, 1st rank being the highest adviser to the Emperor. Those of 6th rank and below were referred to as “samurai” and dealt with day-to-day affairs. Although these “samurai” were civilian public servants, the modern word is believedby whom? To have derived from this term. Military men, however, would not be referred to as “samurai” for many more centuries. 999 Weight: 2 Oz – 62.2g Diameter: 50 mm Mintage: 500 Pcs Worldwide Finish: 24K GOLD GILDED, ULTRA HIGH RELIEF, ANTIQUE FINISH.

PRE ORDER FOR END OF MARCH 2019. DESCRIPTION This is the first coin of the series called Gods of Anger. The first coin of the series is Anubis. Which is minted in outstanding high relief. Anubis is the protector of the gates to the Underworld, qnimal replaced him as the god of the dead. He looks like a man with the head of a jackal a scavenging and hunting animal, native to Africa. Anubis Greek: , Egyptian: jnpw, Coptic: Anoup is the Greekname of a god associated with mummification and the afterlife in ancient Egyptian religion, usually depicted as a canine or a man with a canine head. Archeologists have identified Anubis’s sacred animal as an Egyptian canid, the Africam. The flailConsortAnputOffspringKebechetParentsNepthys and Set or Osiris(Middle and New kingdom), or Ra only (Old kingdom). Like many ancient Egyptian deities, Anubis assumed different roles in various contexts. Depicted as a protector of graves as early as the First Dynasty c. 2890 BC, Anubis was also an embalmer. By the Middle Kingdom c. 2055 1650 BC he was replaced by Osiris in his role as lord of the underworld. One of his prominent roles was as a god who ushered souls into the afterlife. He attended the weighing scale during the “Weighing of the Heart, ” in which it was determined whether a soul would be allowed to enter the realm of the dead. Despite being one of the most ancient and “one of the most frequently depicted and mentioned gods” in the Egyptian pantheon, Anubis played almost no role in Egyptian myths. Anubis was depicted in black, a color that symbolized regeneration, life, the soil of the Nile River, and the discoloration of the corpse after embalming. Anubis is associated with Wepwawet (also called Upuaut), another Egyptian god portrayed with a dog’s head or in canine form, but with grey or white fur. Historians assume that the two figures were eventually combined. Anubis’ female counterpart is Anput. His daughter is the serpent goddess Kebechet.
