Perhaps this is around the time that the mint started to surface-enrich the flans prior to striking - because they usually have the appearance of the high purity earlier denarii - smooth, lustrous fields even after almost 1800 years in the ground. These mint employees were certainly inherited by Maximinus, and the changing of the guard seems to have happened maybe a few years into Gordian&#039;s reign.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1329286[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
