<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Alegandron, post: 2452772, member: 51347&quot;]The knife was not sharpened, but rather represented as a store of wealth with bronze as the metal of value. These were cast approx 400 BCE where implements such as knives represented needed items. In ancient Italia and Rome, they traded Aes Signatum, Aes Formatum, Aes Rude, which were all cast bronze styles. All were stores of wealth used as currency in transactions. Bronze could be melted into everyday useful implements if needed.&nbsp; Why do we trade modern coins when they have NO valuable metals in them? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
