What did turks think when they met roman?

[ibodi]

If roman's money was like it and be called spintriae

the word came from Greece that means anal

Did turks still want this money?

Here's my guess on how Turkic peoples may have viewed their initial encounters with Romans and Roman coinage:

- The Turks were hardy nomadic warriors from Central Asia. When they first met the Romans, they likely saw them as soft city-dwellers. The Romans were advanced but possibly not as physically tough.

- Roman coins and culture would have seemed very foreign. The intricate designs and Latin letters on coins were unlike anything the Turks had seen before. This may have led to intrigue but also suspicion of foreign influences.

- The name "spintria" referring to anal sex probably didn't go over well culturally for the traditional Turks! They followed their own nomadic warrior codes and religions at the time. That translation could have caused some distaste.

- Still, Roman coins were no doubt of high value and quality as a medium of exchange. Their silver and gold held worth across many lands. Over time, the Turks may have accepted Roman money as necessary for trade, even if some designs/names had unfavorable meanings in their culture.

- Ultimately, the practical need for coins to do business probably outweighed moral objections to certain symbols or terms on Roman minted coinage. Money talks! And the Turks were ambitious traders too when it suited them.

So in summary - likely initial distrust but also acceptance driven by economic factors as the Turks gradually engaged more with the Roman world. Coins don't lie, but their meanings can get lost in cultural translation.
