Hello and welcome to my website! My name is Victor Clark (vic9128 on e-bay).I was born in 1966 on an Air Force base in Puerto Rico. I moved around a lot as a child. I lived in California, Delaware, Michigan, Tennessee, Mississippi, and North Carolina by the time I was sixteen. I graduated high school from Northside Christian Academy in Charlotte NC in 1984.In 1988, I joined the Navy. My first command was VA-75 at NAS Oceana in Virginia. VA-75 was an A-6 Intruder squadron and I worked on the line as a plane captain (line rat!). We were deployed aboard the USS Kennedy. I spent a total of fourteen months at sea and served in the first Gulf War.

    Above is a picture of me in the Gulf standing beside the aircraft I was responsible for. I even got a few awards and commendations. I have visited a few countries, many while in the Navy. I have been to Canada, France, Greece, Jamaica, Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Egypt. While I was in Alexandria, Egypt I was able to see many ancient sites.  My second command in the Navy was at AIMD in Norfolk, where I performed complete engine repairs on T-58 engines. I was honorably discharged in 1995, that was the year I started collecting Roman coins. I used to collect American coins but I became bored with them. My first coin was a denarius of Caracalla and I was hooked. I started reading all I could about ancient coins and I got a subscription to the Celator in 1996. Since I liked the Mid-East, I took a job in Saudi Arabia in 1998. I was the engine specialist for V.I.P. Royal Flight (reference card I made with some engine specs). I was a member of The Royal Naval Association (God save the Queen!). On days off, I browsed through the shops for ancient coins. It was very hot in the desert, though! After about a year and a half, I came back to the States. I settled in Tennessee with the rest of my family. (the hunting is good in Tennessee.) After a few years, I decided to go back to school. I enrolled at Volunteer State Community College in 2001. It was a great year since I met my wife also. We met online (here is the online pic- first time I saw her...she got rid of the dog and kept me!) and married during my sophmore year at school. In 2003, I transferred to Middle Tennessee State University. I graduated in 2005 with a bachelor's degree in history with minors in archaeology and biology. I am currently attending graduate school for my master's degree in history. In addition to my emphasis on medieval history, I have studied Spanish, German, French, and Latin; but I am only fluent in English! My master's thesis is about ...Constantine and numismatics. I am trying to stress the multi-disciplinary aspects of numismatics. I currently live in Bellevue TN with my wife,Dawn, our dog and two cats, and life is good!
