[QUOTE="Victor_Clark, post: 26145914, member: 10613"]Palladas, a 4th century AD pagan writer mentions the follis. He is alluding to the stripping down and melting of temple treasures, like a statue of a god being melted down and converted into currency. "Having become Christian, owners of Olympian palaces dwell here unharmed; for the melting pot that produces the life-giving follis will not put them in the fire."[/QUOTE]
