<p>[QUOTE=&quot;labarbedor, post: 2207538, member: 2276&quot;]I appreciate the help on the last question, here is a follow up.</p><p>Coins including ancient Roman ones, were inset into silver pieces, quite early on.&nbsp; But later in the 17h and 18th century coin-like medallions like the one shown were used. But they really became popular from about 1720 to 1735. Usually there is a reason for such trends. Pompeii was not really excavated until about 1748. Does anyone know of some event around 1720 that would bring to the forefront Roman Coins as decoration?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
