<p>[QUOTE="Terence Cheesman, post: 2944443, member: 86498"]My point was that I have never been certain that the better executed dies were created by Greek artists living in Rome. I know that this has been an often repeated concept and could be true but there is no empirical evidence for it. I mentioned a number of factors that could have influenced the style employed on the die, however I forgot to mention perhaps the most important; "taste". The magistrate may have simply preferred that style and ordered the die cutter to use it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
