<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 4630917, member: 19463"]I agree with the opinion expressed above that the large, thin flans would make Sasanian fourrees less profitable than would attract many people. I do not recall one. In both cases, we might need to allow for how the king dealt with violators. Torturing the entire family before starting on the violator might cut down on cases.

There is the following: [URL]https://coinweek.com/ancient-coins/damnatio-ad-bestias-happened-roman-counterfeiters/[/URL] but it dates the law to 81BC and mentions the emperor (a concept yet invented) so I have to question the details. This is better but falls down when discussing the difference between pickling and plating.
