<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DonnaML, post: 7406706, member: 110350&quot;]Fascinating! A question: I assume that your goggles have some kind of magnifier. Do you believe that the engravers of ancient coins managed entirely without artificial magnification (given that the magnifying glass wouldn&#039;t be invented until very much later), or do you think that they made use of some form of magnification such as crystals, water, etc.?&nbsp; It&#039;s almost impossible for me to believe that some of the incredibly tiny details on ancient coins -- only 1 or 2 mm. across -- were achievable with the naked eye alone. Nobody has vision that good![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
