<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 2025729, member: 42773&quot;]Hello Mikey, welcome to CT. I&#039;m not sure you can draw the distinction between &quot;official&quot; and &quot;greed and scheming,&quot; however. For a fascinating read on Roman minting technology, see <a href="https://www.academia.edu/318923/The_Roman_Denarius_Under_the_Julio-Claudian_Emperors_Mints_Metallurgy_and_Technology" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.academia.edu/318923/The_Roman_Denarius_Under_the_Julio-Claudian_Emperors_Mints_Metallurgy_and_Technology" rel="nofollow">this paper</a> at academia.edu. It&#039;s clear throughout Roman history (and human history for that matter) that maximizing revenue has always been official policy in any and every government ever invented. Greed and scheming are simply par for the course.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
