About the Seller

gabrielvandervort

I began collecting and selling ancient artifacts in the late 1990's, born from a lifelong passion for ancient history. When I began this little venture, I was a Producer/Writer for the History Channel, and worked on nearly every ancient history documentary between 1998 and 2003. At the time, I began "The Ancient Resource" as a hobby, to show my personal antiquities collection to anyone interested. This turned into a small local business... the site caught on, and now it is worldwide... I have literally customers on every continent of the globe, finalized by a sale to Antarctica in October of 2024. For 28+ years I've worked with museums, universities, institutions, auction houses, galleries and collectors in 46 different countries (and counting). I specialize in genuine ancient artifacts for sale at very reasonable prices, with a primary specialty in ancient Roman coins, Greek coins, and Roman and Egyptian artifacts.
