<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3228181, member: 19463&quot;]I have always been of the opinion that the skilled and non-political staff of any mint formerly serving a defeated opponent would most likely be transferred to similar duties with the new administration.&nbsp; We should be more on the look out for signs of this in obvious places.&nbsp; This is certainly one as is the Pescennius Niger staff to Septimius Severus Syrian mints (my prime interest). Certainly the head mintmasters might have been executed but skilled diecutters are harder to find than middle managers.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
