When did the use of slaves to mint coins stop? I'm writing a research paper on the making of Roman coins and this fact has eluded me for a while.
I think you are asking "when did the ancients stop using slaves as mint workers?" Logic says that the practice ended whenever slavery did in those cultures. I'm sure that no permanent record was made to the effect that
The question is about making Roman coins and is posted in the World & Ancient forum. Pretty dumb reference, and place to put the question if it's about pre-Civil War US coinage.
"Pretty dumb reference, and place to put the question if it's about pre-Civil War US coinage". [/QUOTE] And I guess that comment was "respectful"??? I can't believe you are a "moderator"!
I know that I will probably get banned from this site, but I really can't see why this person is allowed to be on this site either. This isn't the first time he has posted dis-respectful and sarcastic comments. I just can't believe they let him post comments, let alone be a MODERATOR! Must have some pretty LOW standards.
Maybe if there is another "moderator" looking at this post, they can explain WHY this person is a "moderator"??? And why he is even permitted to post on this site???? This IS NOT the first time he has done this either. This person is like the kid who owns the ball, so you MUST allow him to play! swick
When I read that comment at first I thought he was saying willieboyd2's question was 'dumb', but you need to re-read it, I think the way it was written sounded worse than what was intended, sarcastic, yes, but not dis-respectful, but I'm not one to get in the middle of things....
Roy is a jerk!! And he should be banned from this site! Again, this is NOT the first time he has done this. He likes to push people around because he is a "MODERATOR"!!! LOLOL
hamman88: "...I'm writing a research paper on the making of Roman coins..." (World & Ancient Coins) Roy: "Pretty dumb reference, and place to put the question if it's about pre-Civil War US coinage." Sounds more like he's saying that IF he (hamman88) was asking about pre-Civil War US coinage, the reference to 'Roman coins' under the section for 'World & Ancient Coins' would be DUMB.
Roy must "OWN" this site. LOL That is the only thing that I can think of. They allow him to be a "moderator", and post whatever he wants.....with no repercussions. Yep Yep......citizen's arrest....citizen's arrest!!! LOLOL
Where is a "moderator" when you need one??? LOL By allowing this jerk to keep posting.....never mind.....I will be banned soon. This is a big waste of time trying to open "their" eyes to this problem. swick
