<p>[QUOTE=&quot;FrizzyAntoine, post: 7346055, member: 114961&quot;]I agree with the sentiment, but when you really think about it, I feel like a coin handled by Lucius the Farmer is more interesting than one owned by Julius Caesar. Not because Caesar is uninteresting, but because it seems incredibly unlikely that Caesar would have ever touched a coin, even among his personal wealth, or bought anything using them, because he had plenty of other people to do that sort of &quot;menial&quot; task for him instead. </p><p><br /></p><p>Just like Jeff Bezos almost certainly never counts out cash to pay for groceries, it seems exceedingly unlikely Crassus would have ever come anywhere near his 200 million sesterces. Lucius the Farmer on the other hand was probably constantly buying and selling and otherwise paying for things with his 10, 20 or however many (certainly far fewer) sesterces.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
