<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CopperKing559, post: 1329208, member: 34940&quot;]One name was very common amoung the upper class. A single name would be sufficient 2000-3000 years ago, unless as stated, many people in the town were related, thus sharing a family name, or many people in the town in general had the same name. As for Julius, I am not sure. Caesar is a given name (first name) that has been passed on for over 500 years, possibly more but we don&#039;t have the documentation. Being that it is a given name, rather than surname, I have doubts about the direct correlation to Julius Caesar, but like I said, I wish I was around back then! Oh what I would give to be a fly on the wall with the lifespan of Prometheus!</p><p><br /></p><p>Would you suggest I pursue Julius Caesar coinage? Or possibly another, more prominent, emperor?</p><p><br /></p><p>I emailed him, we&#039;ll see about the response. I read that their coins were bronze with a square hole. Anyone have an answer for the square hole? And do you know if they struck coins of different composition? I know copper has played a vital role in east Asia for quite some time, but was it really the only valuable coinage at the time?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
