<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 2295671, member: 76194&quot;]Pardon me, but that is related to Chinese Bronzes. Yes, a massive amount of them went into graves and they have pulled tons of these out from those graves.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, ancient Romans were cremated and their bodies buried in simple urns. The ancient Greeks had similar burrial practices. Many Emperors shose to have their cremated ashes interred inside monuments...so no room for grave goods...and the Romans did not have the practice of burrial with grave goods anyway, as well as most Greeks of the classical period (Macedonian kings being a notable exception).</p><p><br /></p><p>When the Empire went Christian, that religion brought burrial instead of cremation, but Christian practice doesn&#039;t believe in burrial with grave goods either.</p><p><br /></p><p>So yeah, maybe that applies to Chinese coins, but when it comes to Roman and Greek coins, the facts say those people who told you that are misinformed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
