[QUOTE="brassnautilus, post: 2349987, member: 74300"]what vespasian70 said. It's not that difficult to understand their creation, Miniature tools and lot of magnification, but very difficult to imagine how they were circulated and handled. Magnifiers weren't affordable by normal people, even rich people... Plus, however small they are, they actually carried quite a bit of value, few bucks of today's dollar in a 5mm. My other question, how does one tell the value if they were that small, and with varying weights and sizes Didn't people get ripped off all the time? How does one know he had a Tetartemorion or Trihemitartemorion or even Hemiobol without being able to see what the graphics were?[/QUOTE]
