<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 3194229, member: 76194&quot;]I once dreamed that I was appointed by Emperor Aurelian to investigate the mint workers at the Roman Mint on suspicion of stealing silver meant for coinage. This has a basis in real life as Emperor Aurelian did in fact shut down the Roman mint and fired several officials for stealing the silver meant for coins. As Roman coins at that time were down to 5% silver, none were the wiser about this theft until Aurelian cleaned the joint.</p><p><br /></p><p>In my dream I tracked down the culprits, a band of Dacian slaves whom had been appointed as mint supervisors, and who were using the stolen silver to fund a plot to murder the Emperor. The dream ended with the culprits dying in the arena and I being rewarded with a villa in southern Italy.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;Here is an antoninianus of Aurelian (supposedly 5% silver unless the mint supervisors stole the silver).</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]825218[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
