<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gavin Richardson, post: 2613943, member: 83956&quot;]I&#039;m sure a &quot;Fourrees for Dummies&quot;&nbsp; thread has popped up here before. But can someone give me the basic version? I always understood fourrees to be a product of the following situation:</p><p><br /></p><p>Roman mint workers were slaves. They might not have had much to lose. Some would steal dies for ancient counterfeiting, covering a bronze base metal with silver or gold washes. Thus, the ancient fourrees we see are unofficial counterfeits.</p><p><br /></p><p>Is this understanding fundamentally accurate? Or is it, as I would suppose, an oversimplification?</p><p><br /></p><p>If this query has been explored ad nauseam before, perhaps someone could direct me to the relevant thread.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
