<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Terence Cheesman, post: 2943799, member: 86498&quot;]I have never been entirely comfortable with the notion that the better executed dies are by Greeks and the more crudely executed ones by Romans. It may be more about the number of dies needed to be executed for the issue at hand coupled with the haste needed to do so. Another factor might be how much money was being paid per die. I do not doubt that Greek artists went to Rome either as free men or as slaves. However I have never heard about any evidence presented showing a die cutter working in Greece or in the Hellenized east first producing a die in the east and then subsequently producing dies in Rome.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
